Hmmmm.... weird, as Mine is also a start from just prior to war, as well... yet, as I mentioned... have not ran into any... CTD's.
I've cleared 3 objectives, awaiting completion of the 4th, then am going to make for base... to end that patrol.
Since it is now into, mid-Sept., of '39... I figure by the time I hit the docks... it'll be likely 1st, maybe 2nd week of Oct., by the time I end My 1st patrol. Am based out of Kiel, in a Type VII-B, iirc. Was gonna go with being out of Wilhelmshaven, but.. the only Uboat option for there, is in a VII-A &... a IXA (I think it was.. an A variant), which... am not enthused with... I like the option of being able to reload the aft tube... & the dive time with the IX, is way loads slower, that the VII's.
The having more torps to use to reload with, was a nice add in for the IX's, as was the serious cruise ability, too, having long sea legs... but... the down side was in their getting submerged capability... which, is their Achille's heel.
So... it made choosing to go with the VII, make more sense.
