Where's my SJ radar?

[WH4K]

Two patrols ago, I had the option to get SJ surface-search radar, so I did.

Thing is, it's not working. The displays in my sub don't work, even though the equipment screen shows that I do in fact have SJ radar.

What gives?

Is SJ unavailable in a Salmon-class boat for some reason?

Did you just get refitted from the early war conning tower to a cut down version?

What is the date of your last mission?

The Salmon class boat does not get SJ Surface Radar until July 1, 1942.

I'm currently dealing with this now. Got a new boat, plenty of renknown. "Bought" the SJ radar and installed it but it doesn't work. I've finished a couple of patrols and tried to install SJ at dock (again, plenty of renknown) but no joy.

I posted this before and IIRC you can "install" via one of the text files I think. I haven't tested that out.

My last patrol ended in early January 1943. On my current patrol it's January 23. I should have the radar, shouldn't I?

[WH4K]

Bah, I guess it's a moot point for now.

I got my boat so badly damaged in my recent patrol that when I returned, I was offered "retire or take a new boat."

I took the new boat, only I didn't get a new boat. They gave me a Porpoise-class, which has 2 fewer stern tubes than a Salmon, among other things.

Also no SJ radar offered.

Perhaps it was COMSUBPAC's idea of an object lesson, as in, "This is why we can't have nice things!"

WH4K, you should have radar if you bought it with enough renown. The Porpoise class sub gets the early SJ radar offered on July 5, 1942 in the stock game.

EDIT:
I removed the remainder of this post since it was incorrect in it's assertions. Sorry, I have no intention to steer someone wrong.

Cap'n, only mod I'm using is TMO 2.0, and my paths aren't exactly as you specify. Here's what I do have:

\silent hunters wolves of the pacific\Data\UPCData
\silent hunters wolves of the pacific\Data\UPCDataGE

Each of those contains a \UPCUnitsData subdirectory.

Which one should I "fix?"

FWIW, I now have a Porpoise-class boat. I got my Salmon-class so banged up that it probably had to go back to the States for repair, presumably why I was offered an "upgrade" to a Porpoise.

I have tons of renown points, but wasn't even offered the choice to get SJ radar before I left Midway in my Porpoise-class.

Yup, I did install the radar but it doesn't work and had to skip a war patrol (start a patrol and end it in port) to get a new boat.
