Let me apologize to one and all.

I did not want to sound bad in my comments.

If you want to keep it "real" fine, God Bless you.

But my whole point was just missed or glossed over.

In the sub room, under the question mark, it clearly shows the Type 9b (IXB) as available in 1939. In the stock version, even with the 1.4 patch, it is not available in either Kiel, where I chose to depart from, or Wilhamshaven.

My current "war date" is March 1940. So why isn't it available and if it is, how can tweeking effect gameplay?

Also, just for reference sake, two moths ago I had the honor of doing the eulogy of my Brother-in-Laws father. He was in the Army in WWII but because he already had 4 other brothers stationed abroad, he was put to service loading the docks in New York. He relates several stories of sailors who had their boats shot out from under them and left to feed the sharks, or some who had survived because they played "dead" to save their own skins.

Just because it isn't "documented" does not mean it didn't occur.

I have an uncle who was present December 7th, 1941 at Pearl Harbor. He was transfered to the Europian Theater shorty before the Normandy invasion. He was also present when the Allied troops began to liberate the Concentration Camps, no, the Death Camps. Germany to this day still denies this happened. They still insist that it was faked by the Allied armies.

Ask my uncle if it was "faked."

He served in the U.S. Army from 1941 until 1961 when he retired after 20 years service, then re-inlisted in the U.S.M.C. and went to Vietnam. When in 1965 he left because the Army would allow them to return fire when they were fired upon.

In WWI, the Axis U-Boats were "required" to notify any merchant ships that they were to be boarded, inspected, and consequently raided, but they mostly allowed the crew to evacuate before sinking the ship. That soon was abanded.

The same process insued in WWII.

Just because it wasn't documented, does not mean it didn't happen.

Ask any soldier what happened during the war, any war, and they can tell you stories that are not recorded or "documented."

Sorry to have upset the balance here fellows.
