there are four conning towers available:

Mid-42 TamborConningMedWar
1943 - TamborConningLateWar
1944 - TamborConningElite


it took twelve missions to get the conning tower upgrade.
mission ratings were a mix of ones and twos, with one three, just for a bit of excellence.
upgrade took place July 1, 1944 after mission number twelve and we received the TamborConningElite kit.

 

We took almost no damage for the first several missions and then took damage the last two. on number eight or nine, we took significant equipment damage and some hull damage, and on twelve we took equipment damage again but no hull damage. when we reached port, we received the upgrade.

At least it gave you the proper conn for the date... My idea to work around this does work, but it is not the most elegant solution. I'm still working on a front-end... I'd like it to be "automatic", but that might be beyond my skills. Besides the fact that someone might want to keep their bathtub through 1944... - oh, I crack myself up sometimes...
