Default How can i select my new boat?

I have been offered a Balao, but i don't want it, i want a Gar. I have loaded the game back lots of times to before i dock and am offered the new sub, but i get given the Balao every time.

Is there any way i can change the sub i am offered to one i want?

I'm using TMO and RSRDC

Thanks,

Keith.

No, you either take what command offers, or you don't get a new sub at all.

Well, in all practicality, why would you want a Gar instead of Balao? The Balao is the final class of fleet boat that you have access to, and Gar you can access from Pearl pretty much right from the start. I can understand if you just like the class better for various reasons, but me, I'd trade up for it anyways.

Just for looks really. I want a Gar with the later tower.

Well...I would suggest that you start your career in a Gar boat,and then just never accept the newer boats that will be offered. I've kept my current Gato,even though I've been offered 2 Balaos.

Deleted: I didn't think the Gar was available at the beginning of the war, It is.

Is it possible to change something in a cfg file so you get offered what you want?

And now for the idiot (that would be me): How do you know what sub you get offered? I only get a massage that I was offered the command of a newer sub... but no hint on what type of sub it will be.
I'm using TMO and RSRDC.
