That's unrealistic right there. You might request a starting flotilla, but who knows if they'd give it to you or not.

Also not likely to happen. Back when I played SHI my first choice was Pearl Harbor or the Phillipines. I realized that flipping a coin was the only real answer, as I would always choose Phillipines. Later I decided to run careers out of both bases; also unrealistic but a lot more fun. Using Beery's 'Flotilla' mod I started careers out of all three flotillas in SHIII. Silly, but I like it.

How was this done during the war? How much of the new tech was fitted to the old boats. A turbo or compressor, did they bolt that to old engines?

Type II and Type VIIa boats came without superchargers. The VIIa top speed was only around 17 knots. Type VIIb and later all came with superchargers installed. They're top speed was 17.9 knots for the VIIb and 17.6 knots for the VIIc. The 'unsupercharged' top speeds in the game seem to be the actual
supercharged top speeds. No type IX ever made 21 knots.

New batteries, did they change batteries or was the boat written of when they where worn out?
|
I think the newer batteries were better, but not bigger, so they could be installed as the old ones ran out, but I'm not sure if that was actually done. It looks like the procedure would be very time-consuming, as the batteries are underneath practically everything else.
The rest of the 'upgrades' I'm not sure about; I don't even understand the anti-sonar coatings.
