You can transfer to these flotillas - but that's already part of the game. SH3 Commander doesn't alter that. All SH3 Commander does in terms of flotillas is make it possible for the game to have more realistic features based on the flotilla you're in. Currently there is no SH3 Commander content for 12th or 33rd flotillas, so choosing the listing in SH3 Commander won't do anything at all. If you set SH3 Commander to 12th Flotilla or 33rd Flotilla it will use the standard game's flotilla settings.

I hope this helps. SH3 Commander may be a bit difficult to figure out at first. It's not like a regular mod. Instead of directly altering the game in a solid and lasting way, the changes that SH3 Commander makes alter the game in very subtle ways (especially in terms of the flotilla-based changes) to give a more realism-focused play experience. For example, in the regular game every flotilla you join has the exact same start date for a Type VII, but with SH3 Commander it's possible for all flotillas to have their historical start dates for the Type VII and for every U-boat type. This change won't be noticed by many people, but for folks like me who like things to be as realistic as possible it is nice. The date-based and submarine-based changes are more apparent to the casual gamer than the flotilla-based changes.
