as a noob, what i would like to ask you is... when in 1940 does st nazaire become available (going around england is too long!)?? how?? i guess it will be seen in the transfers (telephone picture in the menu) but so far, nothing...
also i would like to ask you whether it's worth to change to a class ix. if yes, how should i do it? sorry for these noob questions, but since it is the carrer "branching" i thought i could ask.
thanks everyone.

The problem is #19 in the Community Manual under "Known Bugs", but it's vague as to a solution...but if you go to Subsim's own Tactics and Tips section, it describes the problem and the solution near the bottom of the page under Troubleshooting:
7th Flotilla Radio Bug
There is a bug with the 7th flotilla whereby if you are in 7th Flotilla in September 1940 and thereafter the game will keep telling you "New Base Kiel" and then "New Base St. Nazaire" whenever you load up the career. The problem is that the Flotilla.cfg lists 7th Flotilla as being in both places during that month. To fix the bug, go into Flotilla.cfg and scroll down to the 7th Flotilla listing. There you'll find the following lines: Flotilla2=904
TO2=940
NbStartingDate2=5
NbDate2=7
Emblem2=data/Emblems/SubEmblems/Flotillas/7th flotilla.tga
NbBases2=3
Base2_0=750;Kiel
Date2_0_0=1939
Month2_0_0=8
Date2_0_1=1940
Month2_0_1=9
The last number - the 9 is what needs to be changed. Change it to 8 and that should solve the problem.
