Hi W-B,

Hmmm...

Looks like the info that Marcello put up didn't make it into my JFO! Mod.

I have added it in for v 2.1, which I will release after I've racked up a few corrections. I have already been correcting some small mistakes here and there. La vache helped with the German version, and the post he put up made it into the mod. Fortunately so far, it's only been small errors, and this one works out to be another small error.

The only reason I am mentioning this is that you might want to take this mod just a step or two further.

Specifically, on 30 Apr 1943, u-boats stopped carrying torpedoes in the external slots. Then on 7 May 1943, they started allowing the IXD2 to carry a full complement of external torpedoes and IXC's that were "operating in the south" to carry six externals. All other boats (including all other IXC's) were no longer carrying any external torpedoes. This was because depth charge attacks were causing depth stability issues in the boats.

Just some more info to work in as well.
