Yeah I have done it with a few others. I had to look around the files a bit to make sure I had the right number for the sub (ie.. when zzsteven posted earlier "Uboat1_0=1 <-------- change this to 3 (XXI is 3 in the program)")

Also, besides the values that zzsteven and JScones point out, I also had to change:

[AMMO_TYPE9];2cm FK C/38 Flakzwiling XXI
Idx=9
Year=1939 <------ I changed to 1939
Month=4
AP=2000
Renown=0

Although it says AMMO_TYPE it didn't even give me the guns without that change lol

I opened up my Basic.cfg and just used the Find function and searched for XXI. I am sure you will find anything boat specific if you do the same with what you want changed. Just make sure you do it as a mod as I detailed above if you want to just do it for a 'fun' career.

Keep in mind though, like I posted above. For some reason after doing this I was never assigned a patrol grid, it was always NULL. If you use SH3 Commander you can set them yourself.
Good catch on the flak guns, didn't think to look in there. My patrol grid was 0 not null, think I messed up a date somwhere and it read from the prewar part of the grid files. Just finished my GW patrol and will mess with this some more over the weekend.

I like tweaking files!
