Your sub is being refitted.....

[SteamWake]

First time Ive seen this.

After returning to Brisbane late in the war from a rather successfull patrol I was awarded the usual hardware.

To my supprise I was greeted by the splash screen where your usually offered the command of a "new sub" but instead it read "Your sub is being refitted. It is being upgraded to a cut down conning tower".

Pretty cool :up:

Yea I know yall probably already seen this... But I thought it was a nice touch. :rock:

Aaaah - I dream of a different con :-? One that I can actually fit another AA gun to, or even just have a decent field of fire on my existing one!!

The USN really couldn't design like the Kreigsmarine could ... <sigh - dreams of a nice little Uboat to slip into> :p

[FooFighters]

Pretty cool.. did not seen this screen yet.

:up:

yeah, i had that happen to my gato. now the AA gun doesn't stick out thru the side. imagine them thinking i might not like that:-?

The cut down tower allows two 'twin' AA guns one fore and one aft and to move a 4 .50 cal deck gun to the bow.

:o I have not seen this yet. I have gotten new subs but not this refit message. Cool beans!

[Argus00]

aaaargh... so that's why I never got those cool refits... they were all going to SteamWake...

[Silence]

Had my Gato refitted with the same cut-out con. Thought it improved my ability to use the AA guns greatly. Like the new look, and am having fun shooting down pesky planes as well.

:lurk:

Get yourself some more renown sailor :p

I think I had in the neighborhood of 27,000

Honestly I have no idea if that makes a difference or not.

I had that upgrade screen on my second career, I started in '43 with a Gato and after my first patrol (quite a busy one), I got the upgrade meaning twice the firepower to bring down those oh so persistent aircraft when I can't dive quick enough.

uhm... my first career was more of a tremendously-unrealistic-quake-style-shooter-on-the-high-seas sort of thing, so my renown was.... ta-daaaaaa.... over 178,000 by war's end. Maybe that was the problem, they thought I was too good for their refits:)

Upped up the realism a notch and also quit messing with the files on my second career... but I still swap over for some unrealistic quick-run-and-sink :rock: Don't know how much renown I've got, but I know I suck merchant wakes big time. Getting there, though :up:

i didn't have much renown and got the same refit message:-?

As I said I have no idea what Im talking about.

Most likely its a sub class / time of year thing.

Still a nice touch just thought Id bring it to light :sunny:
