Something else important has to happen to the sub, namely, you have to get the new conning tower that takes the M32 scheme. Similar happens with certain onboard gear. You have to have the conning tower that accepts it. Qualifying for the new conn also begins on 1st Jan 1943. Conning towers are one of the worst "upgrades" in the game, since they come in lieu of a new boat. If a new boat is available, you will get a new boat instead of a conning tower. If you refuse the new boat, you are also refusing a new conn. If you qualify for a new boat, and there are none available at that time, then you will be offered a new conning tower, if there is one of those available. There is no way to change that game behavior. If you start a new career after 1 Jan 1943, you do get the new conn. Go figure.
Everyone knows if we start a new career after 1 Jan 1943, we can get the new conn and right paint scheme. But as a simulation game, you can not exclude the players who want to start their career from the beginning of war and go through the whole pacific campaign with right upgrading process.

Many people have mentioned the issue of conning tower upgrade, it seems something related to the "sh4.exe" and can not be moded. However, we can get a new conn just by editing save files,(https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=5726). It's not a problem at all.

Actually, TMO mod already make paint scheme available by making it as a upgrade slot of the sub, FotRSU can do the same thing.
