I tried using the Kiel canal before, but I gave up because the time compression wouldn't work. I presume this is because I plotted the passage myself and probably wasn't dead centre and was in the shallows most of the time. But I'll see if my navigator can plot the course for me... I haven't tried that yet - I wasn't aware it was an option, or is it a SHCommander thing that I don't have yet?
Thanks for all your helpful advice and friendly welcome!

That's the funny thing about the canal: in real (and game) life it makes the passage much shorter, but for the gamer it takes longer because it's harder to use the artificial time compression. That's where GWX comes in; they put in a button that takes you through the canal automatically. To be fair I must also mention that NYGM did it first, but if you're using GWX stick with it, and get SH3 Commander.
SH3 Commander sits on your desktop. It lets you have more than a billion possible crew names. It lets you award many more medals and promotions. It lets you adjust wave height and gun reload speeds. It lets you adjust time compression for every situation. It gives every ship you sink a name. It gives your captain a past history and a post-war life. It does so many things I can never remember them all. If you have it you'll know it's there.
