I think Webster is right. At the outbreak, the Gatos were either still in the shipyards, or in the process of workup.

If you can't get one at a later date, I don't know what the problem would be.

See if you can get one from Pearl in early or mid '42.

Yes, I do have the small patch applied.
As for the date, well it changes subs correctly up to the Tambor.
Then gives me a Balao when it should be a Gato, a date before
Balaos became available.

Have no idea what is going on.

Thanks...

blowtanks, my man..........been so long, can't remember what all subs is offered, but it may just be if you take the tambor the next class you get is the balao, u could try a lower class than tambor...

It may also be a function of your tonnage claimed to date. High tonnage totals seem to get more advanced boats. I have been given a Gato class boat in the past, so I know it works using my setup (below).

Armistead, been a long time indeed.
What do you mean a lower class than a Tambor? Don't you simply have to take what the game gives you?

torpedobait, your setup seems similar to mine. Maybe I will just run the missions and not sink anything and see what happens.

I know the Gato is in there somewhere. I use to get one all the time, and then bang, it just stopped giving them out.

Thanks for the help...
