I want to get a TypeVIIB

[Kromus]

BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START DOING ANY CHANGES HERE!

I`ve got small workaround to get VIIB right from the start (which is also realistic since VIIBs were available from beginning of the war) but you need to start a new career.

Go into your silent hunter main directory.

X:\Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\

Open CareerOptions.upc

Edit:

[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39
[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIA to B, 1
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1

So your edited file will look like this:

[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39
[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIB, 1
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1


Go into you "Documents and settings" folder in your C:\ drive and find

...\SH5\data\cfg\UserPlayerContextGE\ where you delete CareerOptions.upc

All done, start a new career.

If it won`t work there`s one more small change in different file but I think this should be sufficient.
