Career Start December 1941 in Manila driving a Sargo.

The Sargo has four conning towers available, the second tower (first upgrade) is available September 1942.
The third tower (second upgrade) is available March 1943.
The fourth one (third upgrade) is available March 1944 and i think this is just a paint job.

Just received the last upgrade in March 1944.

 

on the last two missions, we took damage, including a bit of hull damage, and attained a mission rating of two in the first and one in the second.

And so, it continues to play out in the US Pacific portion of SH4 that a conning tower upgrade requires at least two consecutive missions with damage incurred and a mission rating greater than 0. It seems, and I stress seems, that a mission rating of three disqualifies the upgrade. Twos and ones along with consecutive missions with some hull damage seem to cause the upgrade.

also....i should be mentioning this in each post on the update topic.
my apologies: in the V1.5 Pacific career, in order to get a conning tower upgrade, in addition to achieving the conditions stated above, the boat you are driving CANNOT be eligible for a boat replacement. For example, if you are driving a Porpoise and want to drive her with an upgraded conning tower at some point in the war, all of the better boats (Sarge,Gar,Gato,Balao,Tench) must have an Upgradeclass equal to or less than the Upgradeclass of the Porpoise. that value is in the NSS_Subname.upc file(s).

with the upgrade mentioned above, they reset all of the radar options so i had to re-select both the SJ and SD options. when i did a quick shove-off to check, the SJ was not working...again. they forgot to install the antenna like they did with the Porpoise and the earlier Sargo conning tower upgrades.

then, they also screwed up the Hogan's Alley and DC positions. previously i modified the UPC setup to include 15 billets in each, but it was ignored in the upgrade. i keep wondering from where are they pulling the ActiveUser definitions because they sure as heck are not pulling them from the Submarines\NSSSargo folder.
