I was playing the campaign mode [again because all of my synchronized files were deleted btw] and whenever I return to base after my 2nd patrol i "receive command of a new submarine" to find that it is not a VII-B but a VII-C! Also, it is November 1939! Um.. didn't the VII-C come out in 1940? And there's a lack of consistency there, and I don't even think that there's any way TO GET the VII-B! What's up with that? Has anyone had this problem and/or found a solution?

Someone else had the problem i think. But it doesnt really make any sence in having a VIIB because it looks exaclt the same as a type VIIC exept for the wire cutter.

There still needs to be some type of consistency. Also the VII-C has a VII-B conning tower, while the VII-B has a VII-C conning tower.

No it doesnt.

Well, thinking about it, the slant on the rear of the VII-B conning tower on the VII-C slants outward in-game, while the actual VII-B conning tower's rear slanted inward, so you're partially correct, I believe. But still, they got it wrong.

According to one of the Dev's it's a carry over bug from the origional game engine and they were recently made aware of it adding same to the patch list of issues to fix.

I'm really amazed at all the KNOWN Bugs, that were fixed via patches, in both previous titles, only to have them resurface yet again in SH5. :nope:

Yes one would think they would know were to look for when they were working on sh-5 BEFORE release. One other thing the VIIB bug being a carryd over from the original game is unter BS since sh-3 did feature the correct conning tower for the VIIB.

Maybe someone could paste the forum save the type VII-b with 1 campaign.
I was very grateful.

I jumped from VIIA to VIIC. Is it possible to have a VIIB before VIIC in the game campaign??

I've just started the Happy Times , not only do I still have the A type , after I listened to the speech about the Fall of France and that I was being transferred to Lorient. Only to come out of the Map after picking my 1st Happy Times mission to still be in the uboat pen at Wilhelmshaven.

I sailed Lorient on to find out that I could not dock , so back to Wilhelmshaven where I Docked and clicked on the officer and listened to the Fall of France speech again and clicked a HTs mission on the map hit exit and was still in Wilhelmshaven.


On the World Map in "office" after the speech , the Uboat Icon that was on the north coast of Germany had moved to the coast of France "Uboat Frontline" , yet when I get back on board my boat and open up the world Map, the Uboat Icon is still next to the North coast of Germany.

So something is up , I take it when I was told my new orders meant that I was to report to the 2nd Flot at Lorient , I should have been in the pens at Lorient when I exited out of that map and not still in Wilhelmshaven.
