What is your ideal start date?

I play GWX with Cmdr without the renown replacement.

I like to start in August 1940, I get the VIIC I want and time to train a crew and finally some needed renown to buy "trinkets" for the boat before all heck breaks loose.

What is your ideal start date?

I start three separate careers in August 1939, one in each flotilla, in all three types of boats. When one finally retires or dies, I replace him with a new career starting at that same place and time.

May 7th 1945 quick spin in the Harbour before we surrender.

Joking aside as soon as I can get down under in warmer waters West of Australia.

I have two favorites that I like.

Das Boot start, October 1941, or for a real challenge summer 1943.

I like to start from the beginning. August 39 in Königsberg or sometimes in Kiel with a Typ II.

August '39 for me, I kind of feel like I've cheated otherwise

Best regards.
