I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know you cannot add new playable uboat types because that's hardcoded. I guess the easiest way would be to add some 1400 sm range to the Typ IIA, and you got yourself a Typ IIB. Would be a sensible thing to do anyway since the Typ IIA hardly have the range to reach the Oakneys and were used primarily as school boats anyway.

That raises the following questions:
- Shouldn't the GWX team substitute the Typ IIA for a Typ IIB for the sake of being more realistic (and more fun)?
- Can it be done. Can all text references be changed so that all Typ IIAs are shown as IIBs?
