Hi Jungfaha when you start your LSH2022 career start Sept 1st with the built in commander mod you start with the training flotilla then up on return you can choose your flotilla Germanys not at war with any one in August 1939
on September the 3rd in 1939 England and France declare war on Germany all map locations on the navigation map turn red on those two countries enter patrol grids in your commander mod like AN grids east cost of England or the Rockall Banks Area north west of ireland where all the HX SL AO AB then in 1940 the SC convoys
Also in the commander mod give your uboat crew jobs like helms man machineist watch officer torpedo man or even two jobs so you have enough crews with skills to operate you uboat on long patrols.
Refueling your Uboat in friendly blue German controled blue ports theres a german tanker in one of the spanish ports or at Milkcows in the Atlantic.

I started Aug. 8th (w/commander) in training flotilla and then i was told on radio to move to 2nd flotilla after my 1st patrol. So i did.

Is it possible LSH3 date is not synced with commander? Any other recommendations to properly set up cmdr.exe for a complete novice sub captain?

Also the current date is Aug 10th for patrol #2, should i have stayed with the training flotilla until Sept. 1st?

"a" German tanker? as in only one in the whole (game)world?

What is a "Milkcow"? and why are then in the Atlantic and if they are good, how does one find them?
