What is your ideal start date?

[RConch]

I play GWX with Cmdr without the renown replacement.

I like to start in August 1940, I get the VIIC I want and time to train a crew and finally some needed renown to buy "trinkets" for the boat before all heck breaks loose.

What is your ideal start date?

[Sailor Steve]

I start three separate careers in August 1939, one in each flotilla, in all three types of boats. When one finally retires or dies, I replace him with a new career starting at that same place and time.

[Randomizer]

GWX 3 w/SH Commander. Favourite start date is July 1944 with a Type VII snorkel boat.

[STEED]

May 7th 1945 quick spin in the Harbour before we surrender. :har:

Joking aside as soon as I can get down under in warmer waters West of Australia.

[sublynx]

September 1939, usually in a type VII.

[Jimbuna]

Late August 39 every time.

[VONHARRIS]

Always : December 1939 , Wilhelmshaven in a IXB.

[u crank]

I have two favorites that I like.

Das Boot start, October 1941, or for a real challenge summer 1943.

[AzraelMedivh]

I like to start from the beginning. August 39 in Königsberg or sometimes in Kiel with a Typ II.

[BossMark]

October 1939 in a Ixb boat

[HW3]

August 1939.

[Gerald]

October 1939 in a Ixb boat IXB came December, same year :03: I prefer myself, also IXB in Dec 1939 :)

[Harald_Lange]

I like to start as early as poss, I'm just starting my second ixb patrol and its December 39

[BossMark]

IXB came December, same year :03: I prefer myself, also IXB in Dec 1939 :)
SH3 Commander lets me start in October 1939 with a IXB :yep::hmmm:

[Fubar2Niner]

August '39 for me, I kind of feel like I've cheated otherwise :-?

Best regards.

SH3 Commander lets me start in October 1939 with a IXB :yep::hmmm: :doh: :)

[Jimbuna]

I sometimes start late 44 with a Type XXIII when looking for a change and a greater challenge.

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

I start three separate careers in August 1939, one in each flotilla, in all three types of boats. When one finally retires or dies, I replace him with a new career starting at that same place and time.

Same here, using SH3 Commander's "Simulate a realistic career length".

At some point I think I'd like to actually make it to 1944. :doh::o

[Obltn Strand]

My preference is to start in -41 with type IID and then change to VIIC. IMO that year offers good balance in challenge and chance. By -43 it's retirement or death.

[Marcello]

I am running two careers. The first is a "realistic" one starting in August 1939 with a VIIB, 2nd flotilla. The second is a "what if" with a XXI in Bergen in April 1944.

[Pisces]

1st of August '39, or 1st of whatever month after my previous commander died in action.

12.1941
Before operation Paukenschlag. Love the tanker-hunt in the American, Canadian and Carribean waters with my U-552!
