Upgrades disappearing
Hi!
I've recently finished my first patrol with my current carrier and I noticed that all the upgrades I've installed for my VIIB (better batteries and the KDB) have completely vanished. The side emblem on the other had stayed. Is it because I installed these upgrades just before my first patrol? I'm using SH3_via_steam + GWX3.0 + SHCommander3.2. Did I do something silly? Anyone any idea? |

Ok, I'll make a patrol without any upgrade.
One more question though: does changing the torpedo loadout count as "upgrade"? I don't trust those T2-s... |

GWX3.0 has added two shakedown patrol in August 1939; if you use these, the problem is solved. No real boat would ever go on patrol without at least one shakedown cruise. Torpedo upgrades before the first patrol are a no no. RTFM

Ok, I'll make my first patrol a shakedown cruise. No upgrades, no T2 to T1 torpedo switching. Thanks for the help.
Was this "feature" present in stock SH3, as well? |

Stock bug to have your patrol screwed up on the first patrol. You would also lose all your "renown" for a successful patrol.

You don't even need to leave the port for your first patrol - just start it, then leave, "Dock at port" and you're done.

It's not a stock bug.
Never had my first patrol screwed up, and I have switched out torpedoes, and don't do harbor tours. |

Strange... When I started my previous carrier in October, 1940 the fleet names were "1st", "2nd", and "7th/13th". Now that I started a carrier in August, 1939 the fleet names changed to their historical names. I suppose I did do something silly after all.
On the other hand, since there are no hostilities yet, I didn't install any "extra" on my boat. Who knows, maybe there won't be a war after all... Maybe Britain and France won't intervene when we and the soviets occupy Poland, it wouldn't be the first time after all (remember Bohemia?)... |

It is an interrmittent bug that supposedly originated from the stock/vanilla game. That was so long ago it's hard to say with any high level of definity
