Upgrading the unterseeboot

Thanks to the helpful replies above (and a quick .cfg file edit), the war is no longer over and I'm powering toward the UK in my shiny new VIIb

. Even worked out how to load ammo into the deck gun thanks to a helpful discussion elsewhere in the Radio Room!

Still a bit confused re the qualifications tho'. Your post got me thinking jimbuna - I started a new career to examine the default VIIb crew, then did the same for the IIa. I hoped I could 'derive' my current PO quals by starting with the default IIa PO config, then adding the quals I've assigned to POs since starting current career, and _then_ adding any PO quals present among the default VIIb POs that I didn't already possess. I failed :-( . E.g., the VIIb starts with two qualified PO machinists, while I still only have one aboard my new VIIb. Maybe the game only adds a maximum of two qualified POs during an upgrade?

I don't mean to harp on about this; just don't want to be gifted qualified crew I'm not actually entitled to :-) .
