Hitman kindly pointed up that NYGM contains a playable pseudo XXIII U-boat (actually, a modifed Type IID) as an installable option for late 1944-1945.
Also he mentioned, correctly, the trouble that I had trying to change the number of torpedo tubes from three to two. Although easy to implement in basic.cfg, it always caused a crash after saving and attempting to reload.
Therefore I have been very interested in Mikhayl's explanation as to how he fixed the same problem with his S-boot mod. I've made the same changes to the NYGM pseudo IID/XXIII, and I can confirm that this boat now has two torpedo tubes (only) that function perfectly, and which survive the save and reload process. I've tested the new boat in two complete patrols, and all works fine.
Of course, this boat still does not look like a Type XXIII, so I wish also for Tomi to complete his work.
SO - congratulations indeed to Mikhayl for the information and to Skwas for his fine Silent 3Ditor mod. I'd hate to have deleted the unwanted bow torpedo tubes just with a hex editor.

Tomi: have you remembered to RENUMBER the next entries in basic.cfg? You have jumped from Subs52 to Subs54 - and you appear to require Nb5=4.
Mikhayl's explanation is a little confusing to follow, and I had to make several false starts. If anyone wants, I can post a more detailed explanation of how to convert a IID U-boat with three torpedo tubes to a IID with two torpedo tubes. (But not from a Type XXI with six tubes to a Type XXI with two tubes, I haven't tried that!)
