Ship upgrades and switching boats
 

Do your upgrades transfer as well or do you get a base boat?

Thanks!

I'm interested in this too....I haven't upgraded to a VIIC because my VIIB is fully upgraded and I don't wanna lose them.

I`m not 100% sure, but I think you get a un-upgraded boat if you change.

Your up-grades WILL NOT transfer to your new boat...Only the crew will...CH

Get the crew to smuggle them in :up: :lol:

So why would one update to the VIIC? I have a VIIB, and looking at the stats before upgrade, the VIIB is somewhat superior...

Should I upgrade, or wait for the IX?

I am wondering the same thing.

Although I haven't personally reached the VIIC upgrades, I believe I remember in reading through different posts there are a number of upgrades that become available in 1942 for the VIIC like radar, radar absorbant covering for the periscope, etc. Most of the upgrades are not available to the VIIB.

I'm sure many others that have reached this level will jump in with the specifics or correct me if I am incorrect.

You are correct that upgrades do not transfer to your new boat.

Any one? I am soon aproaching the time where I could upgrade... Any info on the worth of this would be great.

When you're docked at base, go into your UBoat-screen (click on the right desk that says "Uboat").
There is a ?-mark, down-right corner I believe...click it, to view a nice page with information about when which hardware becomes available.

The training flotillas need all the remaining type VIIB boats since the new VII C's are going straight to front boats :88) It's not your boat, it's property of the KM :rotfl:

I am 110% sure of this...

In SH3, if you transfer, you keep your crew and u-boat, as well any upgrades you have made to it.

No worries. You guys may transefer at your own discretion. :up:

WE're not talking about transferring, we're talking about upgrading from a VIIB to a VIIC.

Ooops, my bad... In that case, hold your old boat or else BDu will scrap it. ;)

when uppgrading to VIIC you can get uppgraded equipment on it. It deppends on what year and month it is. You can have e.g. uppgraded engine. But it all deppends on the time you switch u-boat
