But there is almost always a chance for a new boat before there is a chance for a conning tower.
The player should not have to wonder whether they are going to get a new boat, nor whether they will get a new conning tower. It should not be an either/or situation, but a player choice. This is what was good about the SH3 system, in that you purchased your new turm, though people complained because they couldn't earn enough renown for the new turm. What ~SHOULD~ happen in SH4, is that when a player comes in from patrol, and their boat's turn for a new conning tower comes up by date, they should get the new conning tower, whether they have an Excellent, or Poor Rating, shouldn't matter. The player should be given the choice of whether to take a new boat or keep their old one, but should never have to worry about getting their covered wagon cut on a Gato in 1943. Unfortunately, the game does not work like that without intervention such as you're attempting. But a normal player shouldn't have to edit his Save files to get proper functionality, which the editing can be detrimental to the game functioning properly, and is advised against, besides losing the possibility of a new boat altogether with the UpgradeClass edit.

yeah, i am not editing Save files any more.
too much effort.
i am setting the conditions for the code to do its thing and it would be really great if that GD code would actually be consistent.
do you think that if a conning tower becomes effective (available) 1-1-194x, and a player returns from a mission during that year, that there is possibility that the upgrade will happen?
or
will the upgrade "possibly" happen ONLY when a mission ends early in January of the effective year?
