How did you end up taking a trip to Australia in a IXA? I do see the IXA good until July 1943 at Wilhemshaven / Lorient 2d Flotilla, which is the Flotilla 4 in the game's upc file, and once the IXA "dies" on that date (no "TransfersTo), you might be put on a IXB, since it is active until August of 1944, where if you are still alive, you might then be put in the IXC, and transfer to Flensburg and the 33d Flotilla... but those are not "upgrades". They are Type IX boats. You do not always get a boat under those circumstances, especially if one is not at that particular base, or if the base moves. If you earn enough renown, you might move up to the XXI or XXIII...

No idea, those were just the orders I got. Go to Fremantle and photograph stuff.

Can't remember whether that was my first assignment with the new IXB, may have been.

Anyway, when I got back from my second trip to Australia, I did indeed have enough renown to be offered a new boat. However, it was a Type XXIII. Insufficient range for mid-Atlantic patrols, but this is what I was assigned. So, I loaded my save from just before reaching home, and stuck with my IXB so I could finish out the war.
