3.3 Type IX – The Lone Wolf

• IXB/IXC: Designed for the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean. In SH3, the IX series changes the campaign rhythm. Instead of 3-day patrols (Type II) or 2-week patrols (VII), the IX requires 4–6 weeks at sea. Tactically, the slow dive time (35 seconds vs 25 for VII) means you cannot crash-dive inside a convoy. Thus, the IX player must engage at night on the surface with the deck gun or from long range with torpedoes (using the 4 stern tubes for fleeing shots).

Features: It is faster underwater than it is on the surface. It features a hydraulic torpedo reload system that allows it to fire salvos in minutes rather than hours. IXB/IXC: Designed for the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean

Type IID: An improved version with extra "saddle tanks" for better range, allowing operations around the British Isles.

: The standard long-range model with a high torpedo capacity of up to 22 torpedoes.
