Also for maintenance sake, all boats with the June of 1942 start get surface radar, so that by the time an earlier-start player does maybe get a conning tower update, the antenna mounts properly and they can get radar.

You can use a similar technique as what you did with the radar for other items onboard, and if you don't like sonar reports when on the surface, remove the man at the station by placing him elsewhere, such as the Damage Control or Gun crew. You then should not get sonar reports on the surface. Just be sure to put him back when you dive...

We are attempting to "tighten" dates further for the next release, but definitely do NOT want to have an upgrade fail, as they do all too often in the stock game. Real skippers got cut towers and radar as soon as it was available, and did not have to wait for a point score or patrol rating from Ubisoft to get them... lol - this does involve even more testing, which will take a while.
Thanks for the reply and tips - I like the idea of moving the crew out of the station when on surface as well. Nice to know the mod team is still working some of these issues but for now there are work arounds to them so all is well. Thanks again!
