I have just started a new career out of Whilhelmshaven in Aug 1, 1939. I am instructed to go to Grid BF10 however, I don't see any BF10. None of the grids has a 10. They all start with 11.
Does anyone have any idea or knowledge of this happening?
Any suggestions I what I should do? Should I press on or abort mission & return to base?
Thanks

It is a mistake in the flottille.cfg file where the grids are assigned. Go ahead and patrol where you want. I take it you are a "Combat" fan from your user name.:up:

Yes, I grew up watching the series. :DL
Will I still get renown for the patrol?
Thanks
if you are playing GWX3.0 you are not getting any renown for reaching the patrol grid, only for ships sunk
so you can go everywhre you want ;)

say what? really?!
bugger me i could have just patrolled anywhere i wanted?
*grumbles off into a corner*
Gwx 3.0 manual:
renown points for reaching patrol areas
the silent hunter iii game engine does not award renown to players who reach and remain in their assigned patrol areas if those areas are outside the stock silent hunter iii grid system. This meant that players in black sea or indian / pacific ocean patrol areas received no renown for meeting those objectives although renown would have been awarded in the atlantic ocean or the mediterranean sea, after long consideration, the gwx team decided that gwx will award renown only for sinking enemy ships and shooting down enemy aircraft, with penalties for sinking friendly or neutral ships and shooting down friendly or neutral aircraft. this means gwx will no longer award renown for reaching and patrolling your patrol area in fairness to players in the black sea and indian ocean, since some areas received this award and some did not.
