Whats going on here?!!

GWX 3.0, Did my first campaighn mission out of Koenigsberg sinking the practice target ships. As I was returning to Koenigsberg harbour the shore battery opened up on me!
I was confused as it stated that we were taking damage, I had thought that we had struck a mine! Needless to say that the dive order was sounded and I barely managed to make it beneith the waves. But even submerged the shore battery was accurate and my fate was sealed soon after.

So why in the hell is my own bloody shore battery firing at me in GWX 3.0!?

As the instructions say:
Kaleuns in 1st and 2nd flotillas are to run a 5 day shakedown patrol then dock at home port. Kaleuns in 7th are to stay inside the bay and sink target ships, 2 ship convoy and carry out shakedown drills, avoiding any damage. More orders will arrive by message on 4 Aug.

And on 1 Aug you receive the following message:
Welcome to GWX - Königsberg U-boats. You are to head West into the bay to carry out training. Along the way are 3 sets of targets. There is also a 2 ship convoy for simulated attacks. You may sink them all but be warned you will become the enemy of even your own country so press " ESC " to return to base when ordered to do so|GWX

If you attack any neutral ship in SH3 you become the enemy of all neutrals for 24 hours.

Wow, I just realized this after wondering why the F'kin shore bats fire on me after sinking 5 ships on my grid area, didn't realize it was August of 39 instead of Sep.

Sorry for the chuckle shipmates, I did the exact same thing in GWX 2.01 till I looked deeper.

Best regards.
