There is also a flags chart in GWX (UZO and periscope views) where you can check each nations status throughout the war.
EDIT: Beaten to it!
I'd recommend playing at least a few patrols with just GWX to get a feel for the scope of it before you decide what additional mods you need.
But this may be a good place to start.

Thanks sergei. Just came down from the bridge - violent storm raging up there. It's almost 10 in the morning and the sky's all grey and cloudy. I think I'll take your advice about getting a few more patrols, thanks for the link mate.

As to mods, I don't have many installed, but I do recommend GWX 3. It adds a lot when it comes to realism, plus many other improvements. It comes with a manual as thick as a book. It will increase your load times drastically and you'll need a fairly hefty PC, but any current gaming rig should be able to handle it nicely. |
Hehe can't wait to see my eels in action.
Yeah I got GWX 3 already installed. Great mod. And great load times
. At the end of the day its worth the extra time I would say. I'm using my laptop and except for really hot air from the exhaust vents its running top notch.

I usually leave it set for 'Random', but when I start a career at the beginning of the war I run a 'practice' patrol on August 1, then set it for 18, which lets my first real patrol start on August 19, which is when fourteen u-boats were historically sent to wait for...? (they weren't told) |
Hello Sailor Steve!
That is a good idea and I'm currently sitting in port waiting for my next patrol so I think I'll do that. Btw, I see the map is HUGE and I got like a hundred ports to go to but I read somewhere that the game does not allow you to sail to the Bay of Bengal? I'm from South East Asia and I was thinking of making a trip back home in my brand new U boat lol!
