Default Equipment availability times

When are the different subs and upgrades made available?

Currently wondering if i should waste my renown on a type C, or wait for a type IX which i want to try out.

It's Dec 22nd 1941 in my current game, and i believe drumbeat started shortly into 1942, so i'm expecting them about then.

Think my game's bugged out :/

It's randomly placed some homing torps in my sub, but i've only got the 2 normal ones still available to purchase.

Still can't see any IX subs, only IIA/D and VIIB/C.

Do i have to get the C before more become available? Or can i just hold out?

How come u can get a VIIC/42 in the game when they were never built in the war? The design was dropped in place of the Electroboot was it not?
I think you can get it in Feb 1944,not a bad sub for assisting our Afrika troops.

Yeah I think ur games buggered out mate cause the VII & IX are available at the start of the war,but u need 7500 renown to get the IX
Which flotila are you based at?

Didn't realise i'd need that much to get one, so was a bit confused.
