Sank 7 ships for 1,465 renown and a mission rating of 1.
returned to Pearl at mission-end and received a medal and a conning tower upgrade. the effective date for the new conning tower is 4/16/42, so this was the first time we entered port after that date.
all subs share the same Upgrade class.

Excellent. We might try like Ducimus did, and offer a "flat" UpgradeClass option for those who want to force the game to have to choose "conning tower", since the boat upgrade is removed...

Just about any of them should be. CapnScurvy's versions are the most accurate, but some of the others probably used the same artwork. Just remember though, that the 3k is a bit larger in memory, which was why FotRSU (CapnScurvy) chose to do a 1500 yd version for those with "lighter" computer hardware. It really shouldn't be noticed on a newer box.

Think of the after gun not as "AA" but as "Deck Gun". You will notice that when manned for "automatic" use, your crew will only shoot the two AA guns on the fairweather at planes, and the deck guns shoot only at surface targets, which the AA guns ignore. In reality, a target is a target is a target... but alas, the game is not built like that. You will notice similar behavior from the 2nd deck gun when it is a 4" or 5" gun also. The player can only man the one deck gun position, while both of the AA guns are able to be manned by the player. Also, that 20mm gun would have been pulled and stowed when a dive is called for, hence it "disappears" when underwater...
