What part of Southeast Asia are you from?

I get 500 meters away, and fire two torpedos. Two kills. As i dont feel like evading the oncomeing P/Oed DDs, i hit escape, and "Return to Base"....But, still foolish me has not even looked, and it said "Dock at Scapa Flow". I dock, and as i set out, THE BRITS PUT MY UBOAT ON SHORE! Well thats one promient looking carrer down the drain.


But yes, august 3rdyou should receive a message stateing "We are at war!" or something like that.

Hello folks
Just the other day I got my hands on a copy of Silent Hunter 3 with the Grey Wolves 3 mod. I had always wanted to command my own U boat through the story seas of the far north and this was like my dream come true :D

After visiting this forum I installed the Commander mod and I am completely head over heels in love with this game. I just love standing on the bridge at 3.40 in the morning, listening to the waves crashing against my boat and the thunderstorm is just lovely.

I have some issues though which is why I need professional help from you veterans. I finished my first petrol in the 13th flotilla, sunk 5 merchant vessels and when I get back to port I find my renown is negative!? :-? I am absolutely sure that I sunk all the ships flying the British flag, so what did I do wrong? Btw I'm playing with 47% realism. Also, when I came to my home port my boat was fired upon by Kriegsmarine ships in and around the port. What on earth!? :06: I had to dive and get to port submerged after my boat was heavily damaged. Please enlighten me guys.

I have started a new career with the 2nd flotilla. The date is 5th August, 1939. I know that England declared war on Germany in september (I think). So, technically in august we are still not enemies. Perhaps my attacking and sinking english ships before the war has even started affected my renown? Just a thought..
