Default Where's the 2nd Flotilla?

It's mid-1940 and according to the book, I should see the 2nd Flotilla as available but right now I only see the 1st and 7th. I transferred to the 7th from the 1st as I hate going around the peninsula out of Kiel. Perhaps it will show up after I've completely the minimum number of patrols out of Wilhelmshaven?

I want my...
I want my...
I want my Type IX C.

In the standard game 2nd Flotilla doesn't exist until October 1940.

2nd Flotilla appears in RUb1.43 (http://www.beerymod.com/RUb1.43.7z) from September 1939 (be aware though: the RUb mod is very much a hardcore realism mod, so some folks won't like it). You can also get 2nd Flotilla in 1939 (along with a few other neat features, including 1944-45 career starts) by using the Flotilla mod (http://www.beerymod.com/Flotilla1.44.7z). Try the Flotilla mod first - I don't think anyone can dislike the Flotilla mod (unless they want the Type XXI in flotillas that never used it):

----------------------------

Version 1.44

Added start dates in 1944 and 1945 for all flotillas.

----------------------------

Version 1.40

Adjusted Flotilla grid destinations to include U-boat operations for 'WeserĂĽbung', 'Fall Gelb' and 'Paukenschlag'.

----------------------------

Version 1.1:

1st Flotilla data altered - changed starting port for 1939 to 1940 campaigns, changed U-boat assignment for 1940 campaign.
2nd Flotilla data altered - added a starting port and campaign data for 1939.
7th Flotilla data altered - removed Type XXI.
33rd Flotilla data altered - removed Type XXI.

----------------------------

*Note: players starting careers in 1st Flotilla with the standard game will encounter a 'new base' notice bug when switching to either the RUb mod or the Flotilla mod. This is caused by the standard game having the wrong home port for 1st Flotilla. New careers started using RUb or the Flotilla mod won't have this problem.
