Just in case anyone missed it............... "that still doesn't answer the twin Rheinmetal 2cm (Flak) problem " I can't get the flipperty jibbet upgrade, surely this can't be based on flotilla? Please, no, "Don't call me shirley" cracks

The number and type of flak guns available depends on the year, the u-boat type (a function of your flotilla) and the tower (Turm) variant you have.

The default flak on all u-boat types is a single 20mm c/30 flak gun and a Turm 1 through 1941. The twin barrelled c/30 "zwilling" first becomes an optional up-grade in all flotillas in 1940 and the 37 mm is an additional default to the IXB.

Turm 2 becomes available in 1942. The default flak becomes two twin-barrelled C/30.

Two single barrelled c/38 (with a 40 round clip instead of 20) become the default in 1943 when Turm 2 becomes the default. Turm 3 and 2 twin C/30 are optional . The IXC40 and IXD2 also become available in 1943 as well for the 2nd flotilla. I assume the same is true for the 12th flotilla, but I didn't test that. Turm 3 adds a 37mm heavy flak. The 4-barrelled flakveirlling becomes optional on Turm 3.

After 1943, the options abound. See for yourself.

This is it exactly, I don't have the option, I'm jiggered as to why. Anywho I transferred to 2nd flotilla and wham! I have all upgrade options including the illusive c/30 "zwilling". Revert back to 7th/13th no bloody zwilling Do you guys think I should stop drinking

You've got a corrupt file somewhere.

I just started new careers - in both vanilla SH3 and in SH3 with GWX Gold - in the 7th/13th flotilla in 1940.

In both cases, the default boat was a VIIC with a single C/30 flak. However, the C/30 zwilling appeared as an upgrade option.




Try it for yourself. Start a new 1940 career in the 7th. See what you get.
