Conning Tower: USS Tench

Sandman_28054 · 12-31-08, 01:17 AM

I have searched the forums, and can't find a suitable answer, so I'm asking here.

It seems that it is a universal bug that late in the war, if you return to base with more than 80% damage to your boat, you can be given the option of retiring, or accepting a new boat.

I had 82% damage after a running gun battle with a German UBoat on my return trip back to Perth-Freemantle.

Upon reaching port, I was asked if I wanted to retire on a high note.

I said no.

I was offered command of another boat, I accepted.

Upon finding myself in Pearl Harbor, I was given command of the latest Tench class boat.

No problem.

Or so I thought.

When ready for sea, I put out.

Only to find out I have no conning tower!

No periscope, no radar, no sonor, no AA guns, etc.

Is this a bug?

I cannot restart at an earlier game as I deleted the previous save.

What to do, what to do?

If this cannot be fixed, I have no other option than to delete this career and start another.

Suggestions?
