If it's displayed "Happy Times" in upper left corner of your navigation map then everything is OK...Crew dialogs and new sub offers has nothing to do with it...:yep:

Yes it's all ok, campaign working fine getting regular messages saying lorent is captured getting upgrades etc. How do I get a new boat? If i remember from the stock game i was asked if i wanted to upgrade boat, though that was ages ago when game came out lol

It depends of your current rating, flotilla and in game date... You can check your rating with KSD commander... You can not simply "ask" for new sub...

Thanks I'll have a look at ksd,. I started from begining and worked non stop up to campaign 2, date is approx 12/7/1940 and just had message i could upgrade boat after the 7th due to base upgrade at lorent. Todate approx 70+ ships sunk 100 to 400k tonnage

Maybe you should pump up a bit those realism settings LoL :D

Lol it's 1 down from max, the only ones i have off is external view all others are on and running at 76%

Hi, I have run KSD, How do I tell if I have the required points to get a boat upgrade? Stats ATM :-

[/SPOILER]

Your rating is -2 due to large number of neutral ships on your score and few skipped patrols...:yep:

SH rules are :
1000 merit/renown points per patrol = +1 rating point
less then 100 = -1 rating point
anything in between = 0 points

Maybe you should checked FAQ and tips before you started your current campaign. No new sub for you captain...:)

Missed 1 patrol lol. All the neutrals from start of log were all french rags flying that i attacked. I did check the flag spreadsheet it didn't say french were neutral/hostile. Only ones on the spreadsheet showing as nuteral were redcross, i think Spanish and 1 or 2 others.

So i know how many points do i need for upgrade?
Thanks

hard to tell at this point...1 or 2...
Flags spreadsheet is more for flags recognition rather then cheat for current nations affiliation...

Ok thanks
