Since it's come up, let me explain this.
The average historical training and testing/fixing time for the Type XXI, because it was a new boat type and very advanced, was around 9 months. In real life the first Type XXI sailed on its first war patrol only a few days before the war's end. RUb is a bit more lenient, giving players the possibility of taking a Type XXI out around the time the first historical boat sailed on its final test cruise. I feel that since RUb is a realism mod, letting players patrol in a Type XXI a whole year early - in April 1944 (as the standard game allows) would have been contrary to the realism that players should expect from the Real U-boat mod.
