Mein Herr:
you missed the info in _LSH3-2020-MANUALS\LSH3-2010-MiniManual_EN.pdf at page 34 "Additions in the Harbor_kit.dat" you can read about the sluices and their timing interval. The ones at Holtenau and Brunsbüttel use flags to Signal their next state (opening - open - closing...).

I'm in process of putting together a printable Word copy of the F1 Commands so the player can have a cheat sheet in front of them as the stress level builds.

You will find the information you are looking for at _LSH3-2020-MANUALS\LSH3-2020_Autoplot-KWK_EN.pdf.

As mentioned first there ist NO GATEKEEPER to let you pass undamaged, because it is a fixed Routine for the doors to open and close - no chance to change this. Just stop in front of the gates even if they are open and wait for the next interval. Keep in mind to start your engines early enough because there is a known SH3-issue that they will not start immediately if they have been off for a while.

As an old Hand at SH you will surely know war started in 1939. First type VIIB was commissioned on 06-25-1938 so more than a year before war started.
