Note--this is not a complaint or a request for any action. I did both sides of the patch to my on-going game with my eyes open, as I wanted the non-dynamic pieces of the DB changes, and I'm not that much of a control-freak with my AI game.

I'm in Jan. 1943, and have done about half of the Dec. 1942 Allied sub updates. I don't see any of the deck gun damage, or system damage, others are reporting.

However, I created a 2-O-boat sub mining TF with Dutch subs at Brisbane. They don't have any upgrade path. As I moved the subs to the TF and they loaded, instead of mines the text message reported they were loading Bofors 40 mm AA guns with a 15,000 yd range. In the device list, the mines were in the third line with zero loaded, and the Bofors guns were in the last line where the mines should have been.

I didn't send them out to see if they would lay. I disbanded the TF, and as it did I got a text message that the mines were being returned to inventory.

Just a note on something I haven't seen reported. FWIW, I'm playing a modded Scen 2 which already had split-sub-tubes in place. The split-tube code was provided me by someone who knew how to do it correctly; I did not do the editor work myself.

Dude...

You totally should have laid those water-borne 40mm bofors for unsuspecting maru-sans. Can you imagine how surprised those captains would be to have floating bofors open up on them at 15,000 feet?!?

And the Dutch don't mind being in seawater for long periods of time . . .

More like the'd run over the gun barrels and give their ships a free maritime prostate exam.
