When do some items become unlocked?

[mp81996]

Been putting more time into this game Don't want to call myself an Ace yet despite sinking over 100 ships both freighters and warships with my latest kill being an Aircraft carrier. In a Type VIIB U-boat.

I was wondering when some things become available, doesn't need to be an exact date, but ideally would be more preferable. I have looked up some things, but can't seem to get proper sources.

I got a Type VIIB I believe Around End of October going into November, if not it was December. Just before 1940.

The 8.8cm gun is great, But I have a feeling the 10.5cm gun would be better.

When does the Type VIIC become available? Ideally the VIIC/42 model would most likely be later in 1942 hence the name.

And is it only Type VII's? or are there other variants of U-boats. Like the Type IX or the wonder weapon Type XXI

And when do the other upgrades become available overtime? like the decoy launcher and other things found under the maintenance guy at the sub base.

If you know when these things become available, let me know. Like I said, I don't need an exact date but ideally the month and year of upgrades becoming available.

If there is a wiki that is a confirmed source, I'll gladly take a link to that page.

Thank you Captains of the page. At ease.

Akaik there are only Type VII U-Boats in the game...haven't put that many time in it (the stock version, that is)...
I suggest having a look at the subsim forums ( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?s=4ae7413355ccaa81308832932d01936d&f=244 )

There you will find for sure all the answers as also plenty of mods that fix bugs in the game, give you more beautyfication, let you have some of the functionality of SH3 (changing stations via mouseclick, slide in and out dials and so on...even really big mods like Wolves of Steel are hosted and explained there...

The 10.5cm gun was only used on the type IX U-boats. Those are not featured in SH5.
