I completely ignore the 7th Flotilla instructions. I also run simultaneous careers, one out of each available commmand.

2nd Flotilla - Wilhelmshaven: I do a 'false patrol' on August 1 - sail out into the harbor, turn around and dock again. Then I use SH3 Commander to set my crew the way I want, and set 'Days In Base' to 18. This is because on August 19th fourteed u-boats were sent out to the North Atlantic to wait. Wait for what, they weren't told right away.

1st Flotilla - Type II, Kiel: I set my start date for September 1st, do a false patrol, and then set 'Days In Base' to Random.

7th Flotilla: Same thing. That way I'm starting from Kiel, not Konigsberg, and being sent to the Atlantic.
