Sorry Jim, but that contradicts what the Manual says (p. 45).
I had the same problem last night when trying to get my IXD2 in -42. SH3 Commander only would let me have one from Jan. 43...

Think I finally got it "right" after enabling dates, exiting SH3Cmdr. and then back to diasable dates again and this time all dates were correct.

Have experienced this before with clean installs, where it's like if Sh3Cmdr. won't "catch" the dates... if you know what I mean.

Btw. it is only when you play in the 30th/33rd Flotilla that "Availability Dates" must be enabled in Sh3Cmdr!

You should only be able to get the IXD2 in Jan 43
SH3commander is correct on those dates

GWX 2.0

Version3=3 ; IXD2
Name3=IXD2
Month3=1
Year3=1943

GWX 2.1

Version3=3 ; IXD2
Name3=IXD2
Month3=1
Year3=1943

According to uboat.net, some IXD2's were assigned to front line flottillas as early as Sep '42. Just wondering which dates are correct.

Lüth picked up his U-181 in the beginning of May 42.
Shakedown and training in 4th Flotilla 'till Sep. 42. First frontline patrol Oct. 1 1942.

"My" boat (as sig) was commissoned to Ibekken mid Feb. 42 with first frontline duty in Sep. 42...

Btw. I would love to simulate that way of getting your boat. Pick it up in Bremen or one of the other wharfs and then take it out for testing (perhaps sent through Naval Academy?) before being transferred to the final Flotilla for frontline patrols. I don't know however if it's possible to have a scenario like this implemented in GWX though?

And re. SH3Cmdr. then I can get a IXD2 from mid 42 iirc... seems like a right compromise.
