You want to change your U-Boat's number? Here's how...

:cry:

I try to change my U-boot number (first time) and I do exactly
what Berry wrote.........and this method don't work for me.
Newest patch and only few graphic mods here, and, by the way -
I don't want to use SH3 Commander :-)
I'm back in port after first patrol, exit the game, than I change number in these 3 files (and I save it of course) and number is still the same as before when I load "in base after mission" save.

Please, what can be wrong ?
I'm not native english :-)

Wuj, get and install SHIII Commander 2.3 and you can change your U-boat number that way...easy to do.... before you start a career or patrol. Just make sure you are IN port and NOT on a patrol when you do the install. Same goes with mods.... install only while IN port.

SHIII Commander is great and you won't hurt your game. It'll keep track of yours and men's careers for you. Plus you can use no fatigue if you want and change how time skip works plus other stuff. I didn't want the Commander first time I saw it but now I won't play with out it. Try it and if you don't like it just get rid of it. ;)

I believe you'll need to load the "in base before mission" save, for the changes to take place.

Hmm, not sure, but "in base after "my first" mission right ?
It means before very next mission I think :-)
Thank You Avon Lady, by the way, can You check my post about
"camera zoom" ? I remember Your "zoom in" screenshots,
I wrote about it in this post.....

Then you should have a save point for before your 2nd mission, besides the one for after your 1st mission.
