Personally like i said many times. I would like to see a "historical correct" VIIB model before i would ever get a VIIB in the campaign.

The easiest way (that worked at least for me) is just edit ....\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\CareerOptions. upc in your main game directory (Silent hunter 5)

[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39
[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIA, 1
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1

where you simply edit F2VIIA to F2VIIB, C or whatever.

And start a new campaign.

Hmm tried it but I had a CTD. "CareerOptions.upc" edited this way is also part of my mod, so this is not enough for my game for some reason.

Yep, thats the problem most ppl having, but no idea why I don`t have any.

Edit:

Here`s CareerOptions.upc that works for most ppl (filefront is currently down for me)

Thanks it works for me also, hmm "F5VIIB" instead of "F2VIIB",

[Captain von Keldunk]

So if you edit "CareerOptions" file you need to edit "Flotillas" file too,
otherwise there coud be conflict and CTD. like this
...................................
"CareerOptions" file
[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39

[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIB, 1 .. here was F2VIIA
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1
...................................
"Flotillas" file
[Flotilla 2.UserPlayerUnitType 1]
ID= F2VIIB .......was F2VIIA
NameDisplayable= Type VIIB U-boat .....was VIIA
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, 1941-01-01
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= VIIB .....was VIIA
UnitTypeCommonality= 4 ; to be used when a random choice is assigned
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL
..................................
So Kromus maybe your "flotillas" file is edited like that too,
otherwise there could be a conflict . And thanks a lot for pointing me to
to this.

@Cvk

Thx for reminding me, here`s my "Flotillas.cfg" I`ve edited long time ago when I was trying to make VIIC historically accurate (9-11/1940).

http://www.filefront.com/16344067/Flotillas.upc

VIIC should be working here as intended but I didn`t have a chance to get her since I didn`t get so far in campaign yet.

1.2 patch should make VIIC historically accurate anyway

downloaded it.
About VIIC
"flotillas file"
[Flotilla 2.UserPlayerUnitType 2]
ID= F2VIIC
.......
So in "CareerOptions" file it should be
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIC, 2 as it is UserPlayerUnitType 2 ..right?

I`m not sure here, only thing I changed were VIIB/C (removed VIIA) in 2nd flotilla and changed avaliability dates for VIIC (VIIB also in some flotillas) otherwise I didn`t mess with anything else there

[Captain von Keldunk]

It does not seem to matter I tested F2VIIC 1 and F2VIIC 2 and both worked
