Can you add more crewmen before the first patrol? That does not involve upgrading the boat itself. As well, what about modifying the initial torpedo load? Can you change the mix of torpedoes without being hit by this bug, or does it only involve changes to the boat itself such as guns or other equipment?
Best/safest practice is to add crewmen only.
