UBoat Type IX: Distant Coasts

UBoat Type IX: Distant Coasts is an expansion for UBOAT that adds three playable Type IX submarine variants, along with historical campaigns, missions, events and conning tower emblems.

Type IX variants

The expansion includes three versions of the Type IX U-boat:

• Type IXA: The earliest variant, available from 1939, with three periscopes and enhanced capacity for long-range operations.
• Type IXC: An improved version with expanded fuel capacity for longer patrols in distant waters. It supports three conning tower configurations.
• Type IXC/40: The Type IX variant with the longest operational range. It comes with a quick-diving forecastle and an armored conning tower for increased survivability.

Campaigns and missions

You can lead your boat through historical operations in distant theaters of war. These include:

• The Monsoon Group: Operate with the Monsun Gruppe from Penang, Malaysia, a distant port in Japanese-controlled territory.
• South Atlantic Operations: Conduct distant patrols inspired by the historical Wolfpacks Cape Town, Eisbär and Seehund.
• Operation Kiebitz: Attempt to rescue Kriegsmarine officers from a POW camp off the coast of North America.

Historical events

The expansion includes events such as rescuing survivors after the sinking of the Laconia, encountering the auxiliary cruiser Atlantis, and transporting Japanese officials through hostile waters to the Indian Ocean.

Conning tower emblems

Three additional emblems can be used to decorate your conning tower: a victory clover as seen on U-68, a crocodile inspired by U-504's historical emblem, and a tiger eating a ship as seen on U-518.
