BurOrd of course, thought them impeccably beyond reproach, and the skippers wonky. Some skippers wanted the Mark 10s instead, in spite of the difficulties in using them on a Fleet Boat, hence the renown cost to the Fleet Boat skippers. S-Boat skippers get them for "free". They will "disappear" as an option for Fleet Boats after just a bit.
Depending upon when you started the game, it might be you should not be seeing anything else in the same time period as the Mark 10 torpedoes are available. The deck guns, the AA guns, the other torpedoe versions, all else should be the same as when you start. You'll start seeing new radars and AA guns before anything else, beginning in May, June and August of 1942. The other torpedoes are not supposed to show until May of 1943 at the earliest, and the Mark 10s are long-gone for Fleet Boats.
As KaleunMarco mentions, the game can indeed be strange about when and where it issues equipment, but can you tell us a few more details of what you encountered. I would be interested in knowing which boat you had at Midway, when you started your career, and what the date was when you first went to leave, and when you next went to leave after the Save. Did you happen to re-dock for that Save? Thank you!  |
So I left Midway with a Tambor for the first patrol on December 8, 1941, during the same mission they assigned me 3 patrols, the first of 10 days and the other 2 patrols of 5 days each, finished all the patrols assigned I returned to Midway and the second mission started on February 3, 1942, but I didn't start, so I left the game yesterday evening, today I returned and saw the update of the torpedo mark 10, then I had to leave new from the game because i had more to do and when i got back in the game the second time i saw all these updates.
