I just checked the UPCData/UPCUnitsData/UnitParts4SClass.upc and there is no flak gun on the first tower. The second tower adds the platform for a gun. So without any testing and just guessing I would assume the mission was written with the early version. In the mission editor there is a box for "Unit version date". If that box was left at its default value (When the sub first became available) no matter what sub was used to write the mission they would all be prior to the 1942 date of the Flak gun. The date of the mission does not matter, it is the date of the "version" of the sub it load. So even if it was written with the Balao (the newest) it would be 1940. And in 1940 the S boat did not have a Flak gun.
Let me do a test and I will edit the post if I am correct on this.
Well, unfortunately the only sub that allows it to go high enough is the Balao and it isn't available until 43, so if the mission is before that is doesn't work. If you do the Battle Off Samar you will see the S-42 has a flak gun. But the S-boats won't allow you to change the unit version. so I guess they don't consider a tower alteration a new version.
