In a nutshell, Flotilla.cfg and Basic.cfg. Open them. Look for every instance of a start year and month combination of 1939 and 9 (a manual process). Change the 9s to 8s. Save. Done.
You must then start your new career via SH3, not SH3Cmdr. You can resume using SH3Cmdr after your first patrol.
And no, this will not form part of a GWX update. Considering you tend to start in a small IIA or VIIB, by the time war is declared you'll be ready to come home! And don't forget, making this change means *every* player gets this change. I certainly don't want to be starting on 1 August.
Best left to the "after sales" market...
