Ok, first of all, you should always read the manual, as this is covered as well as many of the other things that crop up on the forums but hey, it's a well known fact that most men refuse to read manuals......


GWX starts the career in August 1939 one month before war starts to allow you to get to your patrol grid in time for hostilities as well as helping to clear a bug with loaduts and upgrades through forcing 'shakedown patrols'.

I'm sure people will chirp in with expansions on that but really, you should read the manual as it will answer any question you have or will have and it's a damned good read to boot.

Not trying to be unhelpful but just read the manual and over time when you see this question asked for the 100th time you'll understand.

Haha, I guess my actions pissed of the british a little bit more then.

Sorry. But i'm really bad at reading manuals. I mean any kind of manuals. I'm more of a self-learning guy.

But i guess i should read them then.

Thanks!:)

Historically even after the British, French and others declared war on Germany, the German u-boat commanders were ordered to observe the Prize Regulations meaning they could (in theory) sink ships without warning and without placing the ships' crew in safety only if the vessel was
1. armed or
2. observed to carry military equipment or
3. being escorted by a military vessel (e.g. in a convoy with escorts)
This order was in effect until early December, 1939.

So I guess you have just violated the Prize Regulations, disobeyed a direct order from OdK and also attacked a neutral vessel. Good luck at your court marshaling! :D
