Conning Towers revisited

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but searching around left me with still a few questions about upgrading my conning tower.

I'm running TMO 2.5, RSRDC 5xx, and currently in a Tambor in July 1942, completed 3 patrols and I'm pretty sure one of them was 'good' (hell, I sunk the Kongo at Midway). So far no sign of a new tower. I get that it's renown and date based, as shown here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=134913 but that still leaves a few questions.

1) In Duci's thread, his 2nd patrol starts after 'end of life' for the old tower, but he doesn't get a new tower until after that patrol. Shouldn't he get the upgrade before he sets out on January 15th? Or is there more to the dates than that?

2) In my game, the early war tower ends 6/31, and the new one starts 7/1. I docked from my last patrol after July 1st, and still no tower. Is there still a level of randomness built in?

Thanks
