It's true you can't upgrade in GWX. In stock you can. Buuuut.......

Real life. Type VIIa came without superchargers. Top speed about 17 knots. Type VIIb and all later boats came with superchargers. Top speed about 17.9 knots. There was no 'upgrade', and the speed the stock game gives you pre-upgrade is the speed they actually got with superchargers. Therefore, the stock upgrade is total fantasy.

That's the reason you can't upgrade in GWX - it's set up the way they really were.
