basic.CFG might need to be edited as some dates are listed there especially for upgrades. but then again i think SH3C should have handled that so it might be flotilla that needs to be edited i would recommend poking around. also might need to look for prototype dates that may also need editing.

If you change the date for the IXC in your U boat availability to 1, 1940 it works. Thats early enough.

As I said, for the IXC you have to directly change the Flotilla.cfg. All the "TypeSub" and "VersionSub" parameters are there, shouldn't be that hard... Actually, let me screw around with the file, I'll be back with the answer soon.

So, the problem with the IXC is, that it doesn't have a loadout preset for 1939 (unlike VIIB, VIIC, IIA, IID and IXB).

What to do? Make one!

0. Back-up your file!!! (I didn't. I have like 6+ copies od the game folder all over the place, so I should be ok.)

1. Open basic.cfg

2. Locate
[SUBMARINE_AMMO7];IXC
Type=2
Version=1
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=2
etc.

3. Copy the paragraph
Year0=1940
ForeTube00=2 ;T1
ForeTube01=2
ForeTube02=2
...
...
RadarCoatings_00=-1
Renown0=9000

And paste it again, so you have two of them now.

4. Change the first paragraph's first line to Year0=1939 and every next one to Year1=1940, Year2=1941, etc.

5. Bam! Your IXC now starts with IX/1 tower... Well, it doesn't have the heavy flak yet, it isn't available this early. But who fights planes anyway? (If you do, I can probably make that work too)

6. If it breaks your game - I warned you, you should have done a back-up.

PS: Sorry for my English, I am quite convinced the comma in the first sentence is wrong, but I can't tell why even if it meant my death...
