GWX 2: What to do with your current career

[Canovaro]

If you use GWX 1.03 in your current career, what will you do once GWX 2.0 is available?

[stabiz]

I couldnt find "Coming back to SH3 for GWX 2.0".:D

Me enither.
Good to see you around mate:up:

[Paco]

In GWX 1.03 I'm in Feb. '41, so it is easy to cancel the career and begin again in '39 with GWX 2.0

[Fusek]

I'll finish my '44 IXC campaign in 1.03, all my other campaigns are already deleted in preparation for 2.0

[u.Prestige]

I shall resume my current career but load from "before leaving base".:p

[KeptinCranky]

my current career was finished when Kpt. Lehmann asked me to find out if "destroyers still have their teeth" :doh:
so I've started over for 2.0, a IXb in oktober 1939

oh, and those destroyers....they still bite :cry:

[U49]

My last career is saved but I think I will quit it as I won't have time to play until christmas. :dead:

And at 22nd I plan to use the weekend to update my whole gamebox and will switch to GWX2.0.... I think that calls for a new career anyway?

Doesn't matter, I just read in another thread, that HMS Hood can be sunk again in Sept'39 like my last career didi it :rock:

[Canovaro]

I've had this '39 career since july and I've made it to mid 1943, so I will continue it in 1.03


Best career so far.
IXc U-68, saving up for a IXD2 or a VIIc/41.

Be aware guys, that if you attempt to use old careers from GWX 1.03 in GWX 2.0, you risk having career save bugs and even CTD's.

Just letting you know. We do not recommend it. We do recommend deleting the "SH3" folder in your "My Documents" and starting anew.

Sorry guys... just being straight with you.

Thanks Kpt.Lehmann! :up:
A real Uboot Kapitän left his boat anyway after a few patrols. I think Otto Kretschmer is again the record owner of performing 16 (!) patrols.
8 with U-23 and another 8 with U-99.
All other Kaleuns were recalled to shore duty earlier than their 16th patrol..... or they were sunk :dead:

[Jimbuna]

It's been a looooooooooong time since I've had time for a career :lol:

Hello, old timer! Cant wait to dust off my VIIC and go to Scapa and wet my pants. *scrambles through hard drive to find Das Boot soundtrack*

[donw]

I don't see where any choice has to be made? Its rather easy to use multiSH3, do a fresh install for 2.0....and be able to continue whatever else you had going!:hmm:

Nope, he wasn´t the only one.
Gerd Kelbling made 16 Patrols with U-593 from 41 to 43 and was 322 days at sea. :up:

Thanks for the update :) (Must write down that name for my next career ... K E L B L I N G... )
Do you know if there was anybody else with maybe more patrols :hmm: ?

Thanks again :up:
Dosn't look like there was another one ?
But that guy KELBLING isn't on those lists either... :hmm:
They are only about the most _successful_ commanders not the most longest _surviving_ :lol:

Looks like he had a hard time in the med..

:up:

Looks like in fact he made 17 patrols? One as a commander apprentice ?

I hated to do this after two years worth of games, but I deleted the old careers to start my new experience with GWX 2!

That is the only downside I can think of with GWX2....the careers are not compatable :nope:

Can only advice to start one, too.

Nothing beats the feeling of dying in 1944 in your 30+ something patrol with your boat and character full of medals and experience, just because that :damn: allied radar equiped plane got you at night :rotfl:
