Do you recall noticing whether any other upgrades were available for the VIIc besides the improved flak? Just wondering because I had my VIIb until Dec '40 and only the first engine upgrade was available; but when I upgraded to the IXb I could upgrade to the MAN diesels as well which left me wondering whether the VIIb wasn't upgradable to them or if the tech simply hadn't been developed until the month or so my new IX was being commissioned. I'm assuming in either case that the VIIc will allow things like the MAN diesels, radar, schnorkel, and anti-sonar coatings etc as they're developed.
