2 reasons really
The first wave of uboats were sent out from the 18th August onwards so would be in the right place IF war with Britain broke out
If you are starting in the 1st or 2nd flotillas run a 5 day shakedown cruise or go sigtseeing to Dover etc as some have
Dock at home on the 4th\5th and you will start your second patrol on the 24th\25th August
Ready to be on station by the 3rd Sept
Second reason less of a reason more of a bonus
As you sink nothing on your first patrol you cant lose renown due to the first patrol\upgrade anything bug so on your second patrol when you hopefully do sink something all is good
If using SH3commander set days in base to 20 for the first patrol
Also if using SH3commander you can start in Sept if you wish
