I run SH3 via SH3 Commander every time. At the least, you should run it at the start of every patrol. This allows Sh3 Commander to update everything (like the recently released GWX skin pack) to the appropriate values for that date. If you only run it once at the start of your career (say your career started in Sept 1939), when you are on your umpteenth patrol in late 1941, everything (Radio .wav files, Text at start of patrol, ship skins) will still be the same as in September 1939.

Just as importantly, the non-date dependent random variables will not reset. i.e. Thermal Layers, Destroyer's Lost Contact time before abandoning a search etc., would never change and be exactly the same from patrol to patrol. For these reasons, I'd suggest running it EVERY time you load SH3, as it will provide more variability even within a single patrol.
