typ VIIC availbility(gwx)

I think it may depend from which port you are based at? Is it possible that you are stationed at a port that doesn't have the VIIC yet?

You should have the VIIC available in September 1940 since you're playing in the 7/13th Flotilla. I'm assuming that you've been transferred to St. Nazaire by now.

Got me stumped too...

If using SH3 Commander do you have realistic U-boat availability dates enabled?

It is the reason, but it is not a problem. SH3 Commander is doing what you asked it to do.

According to my records, the first VIIC to join 7th Flotilla did so in February 1941.

The VIIC should be available for 7/13 Flotilla in Commander using historical U-boat availability dates from Aug 40 and from April 40 if not enabled.

Hmm, somehow my records managed to miss U-93 through U-96, which joined 7th Flotilla in 1940 and were designated front boats before the end of 1940. The first of these, U-93, didn't get designated a front boat until October 1, 1940, and left on its first war patrol on October 9.

Sorry about providing incorrect information.

Either I have missed some other boats (always possible, or perhaps sources differ), or it seems that SH3 Commander provides availability during the training period, which is great if you like to take shakedown cruises before your first war patrol. Just be aware that "historical availability" doesn't match availability to go on war patrols.
