i found this in the D/L section. i thought there was a similar piece with DW but i guess not. it is probably pretty close to what is in DW.

I've been assigned new boats twice in a row now.

When I got back from my first trip to Australia, I was offered a new Type IX, a IXB - the one with two flak guns. It still won't keep you from getting sunk, but at least you take the airplane with you. :/

I went ahead and did another trip to Australia. On return, I was offered a new boat. Again. Hmm. OK, says I.

I got a Type XXIII. I was assigned to patrol in the middle of the Atlantic.

Thing is, a Type XXIII doesn't have sufficient range for Atlantic patrols. It's a coastal boat at best. I know - I tried anyway, and ran out of fuel short of the patrol area.

That's interesting. I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to be offered any new boats in DW.

The Types XVIII (not active), XXI & XXIII are all UpgradeClass=2. All others are UpgradeClass=1. I do not know how there would be an "upgrade" to a new Type IX, except by a new turm "re-fit"... so it was probably a re-fit, not an upgrade to a new boat. Some of the re-fits do function correctly.

I kind of found an explanation for a few of the torpedos bugs however i dodnt know how to fic them.

so the g7aT1 (sw36) works fine
the g7aT1 (sw39) doesnt it shows the falke model and has no wake etc.

so i found out the SW stands for the explosive used in the torpedo SW39 beeing more potent and thats the difference of the 2(which i didnt initially found)
still no clue why the torpedo mod only works for the g7at1 sw36 but the other one is still wierdly broken....

So on a whim I decided to go into Brest, to see if maybe I could bag myself a French warship before France is knocked out of the war. I know the main fleet was in Mers el-Kebir, but hey, who knows, maybe there's a Richelieu or a Jean Bart/Courbet-class BB there anyway. It's May 14th, so the Battle of France has just begun, yet the only ships I found in Brest harbor were two German destroyers. I know the mod is no longer being worked on, but I thought I'd report this anyway. Also, something funky is going on in Brest harbor. There's basically nothing going on but it completely tanks the framerate of the game.

No, I definitely got a new boat. Started the war with U-37. When I upgraded to a Type IXB it was U-150.
