Hi guys, i didn't read whole this thread, just first few posts about this problem, so don't know if it was not answered.
But i hope this can help to you.
There is my sun almanac for north hemisphere:

As i investigated, the years in SH3 are the same, so it works for all years. But i don't remember if there was some trouble with 29 Feb 1944, maybe is sun to the end of this year shifted for this 29th day.

And second thing - there are two times in SH3, do you know about it?
There is one time set up by timezone when your mission start and second time - local time showing time of your local timezone, where your uboat actualy is.
Read first few pages from celestial navaigation revisited (i linked you post with almanac from this thread, so just look at the whole thread), there is Bravo's investigation about SH3 timers...

After that you will understand what happening in your game. Because time setting is changing for example when you load your previously saved game. At that moment clock in sub are set to local time of timezone where sub is, even when your base is in GMT time zone and when you started patrol, clock in sub was setup to GMT.
