Sorry i don't quite understand your meaning. Hope my answer is what your want:
After a manually upgrading, of course you may go under a another default refit. This default refit will "overwrite" what you have done in the savegame, if the default one is lower than your manually upgrading one, you just need to do it again.

yes thank you. sorry my english

i should copy also names of sailors, between conning slot and upgrade packs?

For convenience and safety you should, but if you don't want to do it, that's OK, and be careful to make sure you don't miss anything

Thanks. i will post if with tmo alone first conn tower cut is without problems like arrow and other people sad.btw i played much to tmo+rsrdc, what i like are detailed spe ops, and fleet operations (recon duty. like in java campaign where you should patrol molucca/celebes passages, for recon.).
what i dont like of it, is that is too predictable: you know yet that for example 21 dec 41 a jap convoy is in lingayen gulf, or you know yet that a jap cruiser force will be in java sea february 42. or you can run historical battles. too predictable. and heavy scripted layers can cause bugs. (especially with rfb they do that. some ship or port ctd.). but is a great mod anycase. i should try it with gfo. in stock. sometime. while after many times, now im playin tmo alone, less predictable, also for have more harder escorts, for check refits, and also i like the use of the "flowers chart" (the grid secret names on map. convoy college, etc etc germans call it "flower's chart, because every grid was a flower.)

When i save game in my campaign, before start a new campaign and copy active player units, should i mount radars if i havent? i ask, because for test, i try to refit my boat in february 42, just for a test. and i refitted succesfully, but my sj radar screen, dont sweep. radar screen appear on, and is on. but the sweeper, dont turn. that's happened maybe because in my campaign, i didnt mount radars before copy conning slots in my active player units file?

I resolved that problem. was because febryary 42 is too early for radars. i tested it in mid 42 and go fine. thank you friend! you resolved a dilemma for me. was years that i couldnt finish a campaign
Real last question sorry: if for manually refit, i wait that cpu refit my boat in mid 42, it go anycase? (i mean. for avoid being refitted 2 times. an example: if i refit my boat in may-june 42, cut of conning tower, and after 1 month cpu refit automatically it, maybe i should refit again manually it for avoid some bug if happen. so can i refit manually and succesfully my boat, after normal game refit? for avoid 2 refits?).

if the cpu refit gives you the same tower as your current one, you don't need to manually refit again. i think there will be no bugs. (maybe you need to equip the radars or AA guns again in the game)

but as for me, i like the late-war conning tower with 3 AA guns, so i usually manually upgrade to it in late 1942. If there will be a cpu refit, i will go back to a worse tower. So in this case, i need to do manually upgrade again to get the better tower back.
