I'm finding it tedious conserving every drop (at ahead 1/3 and diving whenever the batteries are charged) of fuel and still barely making it to my patrol grid and back.

Also I'm with 2nd Flotila at Kiel and I requested a transfer thinking this might shift me to Wilhelmshaven or some other start point where maybe a different sub was available, transfer was approved but I'm still starting from Kiel. The transfer seems to have had no impact whatsoever.

Got a brilliant crew now but just sick of this sub. And I have realistic career length selected in SH3Commander so I'm guessing, after 7 patrols, my times nearly up! Got 3k of renown and nothing to spend it on.

I forgot to check the date but I think it's around mid-November, '39.
Do you have the "Use historic U-boat availability dates" option checked in SH3Cmdr? If so, your question will be answered very quickly by reading the SH3Cmdr Help file. If not, your question will be answered very quickly by reading the GWX manual (page 158). There's a pattern here.

Not sure why you have a Type II in 2 Flotilla though as GWX (thus SH3Cmdr) doesn't come configured this way. I guess you transferred there from 1 Flotilla at some point.
