Default Porpoise Conning Tower Upgrade...

I just finished a mission and they gave my boat the half-cut conning tower upgrade. So i had to add the radar again but on the next mission the radar didn't work. It was shown as being equiped, but i could not turn it on and the scopes stayed dark.

So i started digging into the files and i noticed that in the Unitparts2Porpoise.upc file under UPCDATA/UPCUnitsdata these sections...

For Early War Tower,

[UnitPart 1.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 1]
ID= SurfRadarAntenna
NameDisplayable= Surface Radar Antenna
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes= NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkEquipmentIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, NULL
ExternalNodeName3D= R04
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= -1

For Half-Cut Tower,

[UnitPart 2.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 1]
ID= SurfRadarAntennaLate
NameDisplayable= Surface Radar Antenna
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes= NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkEquipmentIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, NULL
ExternalNodeName3D= R01
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= -1

For Late War Tower,

[UnitPart 3.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 1]
ID= SurfRadarAntennaLate
NameDisplayable= Surface Radar Antenna
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes= NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkEquipmentIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, NULL
ExternalNodeName3D= R01
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= -1

Note the ExternalNodeName3D= entry, it starts as R04 then changes to R01. So i edited it to say R04 and reloaded the game from a save before docking and the radar worked on my next patrol.

Was this just a Typo by ubisoft or do i have a bigger problem i need to track down? I noticed that some boats like the Gato use R01 for all 3 entries, but the Salmon and Sargo also go from R04 to R01 like the Porpoise, could this be an issue for those boats as well?

Any insight would be welcome, Thanks!
