Hello, I'd like to report a little annoying bug I've found in the current GWX, so you guys can fix it if you'd like for the new update(edition?).
I'll just start off by saying I'm no expert on how SH3 works...
there is a bug when swapping to a new boat keeps the name of the old one, so you get a type 7C "U-11" for instance.
I believe the reason for this is that the new type of submarine becomes available a few months before the real type did, so the game is unable to find a matching name, because none existed at the time, thus the list of available names is empty and the name is not changed from the old type. This could probably be fixed by making it so players unlock new submarines later or messing with some file somewhere that determines which names become available when...
As I've said I'm no expert so this could be very wrong, its just my theory, trying to help.
Thanks for updating this amazing mod!
edit: i should probably add that I only noticed this on the Type VIIC, the type seems to be available 2ish months too soon to have a name.
