Operation Monsun Tech Notes

Conning Towers / Turms

Unlike SH3, Turmumbau (Conning Towers) cannot be upgraded manually, but are coded to upgrade on certain dates within the *.upcge files. The only U-boats that are programmed for this upgrade are the Type VIIC, Type IXB and Type IXC. This is the schedule for the different subs

Type VIIC

Turmumbau I - 1940-07-30 to 1942-06-15
Turmumbau II - 1942-06-16 to 1943-12-15
Turmumbau III- 1943-12-16 to 1945-05-15

Type IXB

Turmumbau I - 1939-07-30 to 1942-08-18
Turmumbau II - 1942-08-19 to 1945-05-15

Type IXC

Turmumbau I - 1941-01-02 to 1943-02-15
Turmumbau III - 1943-02-16 to 1945-05-15

However you will have to “earn” this upgrade, there is a condition where you have to have had at least one patrol that was considered a good patrol. IE, earn more renown then the minimum on the first patrol rating. Just so ever one understands, besides competeing the primary objective of patrolling a defined area for the proscribed time, there is a “hidden” objective that requires you to sink any where from 1000 to 10000 tons pre patrol. So remember this, ever time you report in and get a new assignment you get another “hidden” objective in it.

Radars

There are only two types of radars in OM. The FuMO 61 'Hohentwiel U' Radar and the FuMO 65 'Hohentwiel U1 Drauf' Radar. The FuMO 61 will be an “optional” upgrade in Sept 1943 and a standard install Sept 1944 for the Type VIIC / Type VIIC41 / Type IXC / Type IXC40 and Type IXD2. The FuMO 64 becomes available in June 1944. The FuMO 29 and FuMO 30 will not be used because of the “very limited” deployment of the FuMO 29 and the unreliability of the FuMO 30.
