From no ships in Vigo to this... my guess is you need to uninstall the game and do a clean install.

ok i figured it out, in the basic.cfg file i had the torpedos number labeled wrong. ie 1rst year 1939 torpedo slot all begin with 0...1940 begins with 1, 1941 is 2 etc, i had all years begin with 0, now it works. now if i can figure out why i have only 4 officers instead of 5 even though it says i have 5, maybe he went awol

The "crew_config" files in the Cfg folder contains the loadout of your crew...names, rank, and all other info. I have customized mine by starting a new career, then using the "Crew_Career_00" file from my career folder and renaming it as "crew_config_VII_1" or "crew_config_VII_2" etc depending on the type of U-boat. I did this for all crew_config files for all U-boat types in the Cfg folder. The third crew type i.e "crew_config_VII_3" in all types had only one change in the crew no. 54 slot. I used Commander to generate my crews so they had better names and specs. Another fun project to do, but it's worth it. All this will make sense if you look at how the crew data works in the game. You can even assign specific uniforms to individual crew members by rank or any other criteria. That's just a small example of crew customization possible in this game.

ok but maybe im missing something, my officer disappeared when i started a new patrol ie was not on the roster, i errored by leaving him in the repair compartment and i read that a sh3 bug causes the issue. but it was too late for me cause i put in a few changes to my files and could not reload save game before i ended my patrol,, so was wondering how to get him back, but thanks for the other info i will check into it
