What is the point of 1939?

Ahoy,

I suppose I may be jumping the gun in a way, but is the point of 1939 to go out to sea and wait for war to be declared?

I'm pretty new to this game (been playing only since October), and i just reinstalled with GWX 3.0. I started the earliest career I could since I'm still very n00bish and I want to have the least amount of resistance while I hone my skills. I started a career with that Flotilla that begins near Finland. I set out and just started sinking Polish merchants and whatever other Polish ships I could find. I suppose they were still neutral at this point because when i returned to base, there were German ships firing on me, coastal artillery firing on me etc. I just dove for periscope depth and they lost me. I continued to hear shells exploding and such so I went to the bird's eye view. Oh MAN was it chaos! German ships sinking German ships..every man for himself! It was pretty fun to watch, but it clearly is telling me that I did something wrong.

Can any of you give me some advice here?

On a side note, I keep getting a patrol assignment for BF10. I'm sure you all know that BF10 does not exist. I figured that maybe they're meaning for me to just patrol anywhere in BF sector for 24 hours, but that doesn't seem the case. I did a search in the forums and found that GWX won't give you any renown for patrolling an assigned sector anyway, but it looks like the BF10 thing is sort of a mystery to a lot of sailors here.

Salut!
