well, soloshrov, there is more to the sim than changing start dates for weapons. no offense intended here but the boats and equipment and weapons have complex relationships within the app. you may make an upgrade available but the boat you attempting to use it on may not have the proper equipment to make it work and you experience a CTD (crash to desktop). the error handling for SH4 is non-existent but that is a different issue.

now, you have a subject title that includes the Type XXI which is a late war model. many pieces have to be in place to make that boat work properly: bases, flotillas, on board equipment, etc, and just about all of them do not become available until late in the war.

my apologies for sounding so negative but it is what it is. Fifi and his team (yes, i was a member) worked very hard to cure some of the Op Monsun Issues and cutdown on the CTD's but one has to use the mod as it exists. if you make additional mods on it you need to be very sure that all of the new pieces fit with the DW pieces otherwise...poof...CTD.

my advice is to play it the way it is. choose a boat and flotilla and play it until you are destroyed or the career path ends. then choose another boat and flotilla. DW will not play like the US-Pacific theatre.

so, i wish you good luck with whatever path you choose.
