Default IXC vx IXC/40

It is stated that the IXC/40 was slightly faster than the IXC, but in stats, it is actually slower. Why is this?

Also, it seems IXC is faster than it should be. but the numbers are very small


I am just wondering, what is the point of using an IXC/40 over an IXC?

Range I believe. IIRC the IXC/40 has a longer range though neither has anything on the IXD2.

Hi,

in SilentHunterIII there is absoluty no difference between a IXC and a IXC/40. We only have one sub model (dat, sim, zon, val, cfg files). You can spend "money" in SH3 to get a IXC/40, but it doesen't make any sence. In RL there was a very little difference, but SH3 is unable to simulate this.

Greetings

I prefer the type IXC missions because it is technically superior to the type VIIC, with more surface speed, more number of torpedoes, and two stern tubes instead of one, which ensure a collapse.

Hello,
In SH3 with GWX 3.0 the differences between the IXC and the IXC/40 in terms of functionality are miniscule. In reality, the newer IXC/40's usually got the newest and best hydrophone, sonar, radar, and RWR equipment installed in the shipyard while the IXC's had to make do with older equipment.
