Default Question about modding campaign.

I have 3-4 careers of different types, 1 is for a realistic one, one is for just trolling and shooting, and I want to create one that mimics a nuclear sub career. I intend to use a XXI boat with unlimited diesel, air, and batteries to simulate a reactor but I don't want to start at the tail end of the war. How do I make the XXI available in 1939?

I have not used this mod or tinkered with u-boat availability, maybe someone who has (or knows another way get the job done) can offer more suggestions.

Yep that's the exact one I used, now I'm trying to find where SH3 keeps files related to torpedoes.

The Submarine is installed with no issues, but so far I haven't found a mod for torpedoes so I'm doing it manually.

Edit--my mod didn't work back to the drawing board.

Isn't there a utility that allows you to customize torpedoes? Was it not called SH3 Mini Tweaker? I'm not sure if that will make torpedoes available ahistorically.

Will do and K-61, I'm running into a bunch of dead links regarding SH3 Mini Tweaker. Word is that the creator's site is permanently down so i'm searching to see if someone else has uploaded a copy. Search in the subsim download section yielded nothing.

but use S3D instead if you want to change anything, but the backup is necessary, do not forget...

Ok after doing research the XXI comes with the most advanced torpedoes available. I'll try to tweak them just to see how to mod should the need arise. BTW S3D doesn't recognize any files in the game.

Edit---looks like I'll have to find a way anyhow because when i use them up in patrol I may lose them and be stuck with out of date torps.
