That's 1st off...
Ok, now... that that's out of the way, on to your query... shall we.
SH4, is NOT like ol' SH3, where 1 kaleun, was able to... willy nilly, just jump into any sub of their choice.
Nope... NOT at all.
SH4, however, the subs are set up in a ''this sub is class 1 category sub, these are class II, & so on & so forth'' through the entirety of the subs wrote into the sim/game.
With Me, thus far... good, cause onwards we go...
Now... depending on a number of factors, the engine, takes into account how you did on patrols, completed objectives... & such... that make up your 'career'... & assigns that as a 'overall score'... still following there... haven't lost you there.. I hope.
Moving on...
Now, based on that, 'overall score'... & the subs available... minus the class your in... & off all that, then decides if you are... 'worthy' of a sub upgrade to a new sub.. 1 that is in the next sub class. So, if you say, selected a class I at the start... did well, then... well... if your skilled enough, you get the promotional bell ringer award, of getting an offer to move on to.... *wait for it... wait for it... *chuckles*.... a class II category sub... what ever that 1 is... so, for the sake of it, in this instance, let's say that you took off on your career... in say... a Type II... well, based on all that, the next move would be (I believe I have it right... here... ) move up to a 2nd gen Type II, or an early model Type VII...
Following along thus far, alright...
NOW... here's the **** kicker...
All that, that I outlined there... applies, quite well in fact... if... IF... you're in a U. S. fleetboat, just fine.
NOT so, as it pertains to the Uboat side of it all... uhh uhh.... Nope, not... at... all...
Sucks, but... can thank the genius morons at Ubi, for that... well... more namely, the bean counters... (bean counters = financials, like taxes & such...) who should have NO control over game development... EVER... &... the bozos, who decided it was a good thing to have the bean counters in charge of things.
Soooo....
your best option in all this... is to pick what sub, you want to roll with... &... stick with it... until you...
A. Get sunk, God forbid... or...
B. Get to the end of the war... (provided you don't run into option A, there...
)
OR...
C. Decide you've had enough of that sub... & have the know how to grab the needed info to keep your kills to date, start a new career in another uboat, &... edit those files with your kill count info... from the other sub...
Which, should be doable, but... is in all likelihood, a rather long drawn out, painful process... (especially, if you mess up... which is why... I strongly make it known, before tampering with any... ANY... files, that you make sure to make a 'backup' of them... 1st.!
Hope I haven't lost you in all that... or caused you to doze off, either...
&... last, but certainly not least... that it was helpful... above all else.
