I have only started my career in 1939. That way I can build up my crew's effeciency for later in the war. On the first patrol, you have to be most careful, because youre crew isnt up to speed. But after you get back you can update their skills via sh3commander
I set my in base after patrol to around a month or so. Im not sure what is a realistic amount of time spent in base. I wish upgrading would be reflected after you get back to base where youre noted as In Base. That way I can get the upgrades that are available after the month has passed before going back out on patrol.
I dont use realistic career length.
