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.

My preference is to start in -41 with type IID and then change to VIIC. IMO that year offers good balance in challenge and chance. By -43 it's retirement or death.

I am running two careers. The first is a "realistic" one starting in August 1939 with a VIIB, 2nd flotilla. The second is a "what if" with a XXI in Bergen in April 1944.

1st of August '39, or 1st of whatever month after my previous commander died in action.
