Gato Class Can't Upgrade to Radar?

Schnee · 05-12-07, 10:13 AM

Playing the Asiatic scenario and after some interesting patrols in a S class and Salmon class, was offered a Gato class. Naturally I jumped at the upgrade, figuring I could now the spare torpedoes to blast away with, no small need when it looks like 50% (either depth keeping wise or contact/magnetic) don't work at this time period in the game (early '43).

But when I tried to upgrade to SJ radar (surface search?) I got a message "your Sub does not support this upgrade..." Huh? I'll check again but I'm sure I had more than enough renown to cover it. I was able to grab the SD (air search) rada, but that seems useless - any planes seem to always be spotted visually, not by radar.

I would have thought that the Gato - being one of the more advanced classes of sub could have accepted pretty much any sort of upgrade
