OK. I know what happened.

Facts:
1. SH3Cmdr copies in the u-boat availability dates based on the *current* career Flotilla
2. 1, 2 and 7 Flotilla all have *different* u-boat availability dates
3. SH3 only recognises ONE set of availability dates for all Flotillas

When you loaded SH3 via SH3Cmdr, you were in the 2nd Flotilla and hence received the 2nd Flotilla u-boat availability dates.

As SH3 only stores one set of dates, these dates effectively become the dates used by ALL Flotillas.

Hence, when you transferred to the 7th Flotilla, SH3 still used the 2nd Flotilla set of values, and as the 2nd Flotilla did not get VIICs, you wouldn't get them in the 7th Flotilla either.

The solution? Simply exit SH3 and reload via SH3Cmdr. This will "flush" the old dates and replace with the new and correct 7th Flotilla dates. Or yes, just turn the option off in SH3Cmdr and get the dates that are already in the game.
