Career start with XXI

digitizedsoul · 02-21-07, 11:29 AM

Just curious, when I go to start a new career (gwx or course) even choosing a start date of 1945 and at the flotillas that offered the XXI, it is not my default choice. I have to choose a type 7 and renown my way up to the XXI. Personaly I think this is ridiculous especially if you START in 45. No way you can rack up enough renown for an XXI.

Am I just ignorant here or is there another way to be assigned a type 21 in career mode?

The easiest and IMO simplest way is to start the game with SH3Cmdr and select your U-boat type

Wow..... I mean... wow....

Sometimes my own ignorance dwarfs even a childs imagination....

Thanks man, and to think, I USE commander and never even thought of this

Using SH3Cmdr 2.7 you should be able to get the XXI at the 11th Flottila in JULY 1944 with the Correct availability dates for U-boats switched on. I'm not sure when the XXI becomes available with this option off.

Yeah basicaly I was setting a "dumbass" record on this one guys.

thanks though because obviously I would have continued to overlook this even though i load commander first every time :\

And to think, people question "team" thinking.......
