Yes, yes.....Stupid typo.....I meant 1939 and on the 1st & 2nd of August.......I read that if you becomme a renegate all fire at you...This is very mean....As I was only following orders...And those ships were marked as target ship!!

What awaits my crew in the coming patrol

In your first post you said 9th of September, now you say 1st & 2nd of August. If you were sinking British vessels on the latter dates you pre-empted the war by a little over a month! In which case you'd be about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit all round.

Everything in August 39 is Neutral, fire on one and all Neutrals deem you an adversary.

Better to stay offshore until 4th then receive the radio message to return to base.......if you are using SH3 Commander and have set the days in port to 20, apply for a transfer to 1st or 2nd Flotilla then commence you pre-war patrol on 24th which allows you to get into your allocated patrol area prior to the commencement of hostilities, as they did in RL.

Humm,
Just to clarify everything....Sorry for giving the dates wrong in the beginning....After a double check, here is all the data:
Patrol starts: 01.08.1939; U-Flotilla Wegener- Base Könisberg
Mission order: patrol Grid AO98 Sink tagets ships, 2 ships convoys.

So I am to disregards orders from BDU? If I had done so....I would have never got the point for completing mission orders!!!

Ah ,you are not alone in this...
Same thing happened to me,but i was lucky enough that weather was so poor that i didn`t have to dive:I just ordered flank speed and within minutes i was out of sight..
Same time of year,same position,same flotilla....GWX 3.0 and vanila SHIII patched to 1.4.
And yes, i also tried to sink those target ships...
Problem is because,i think,those were GERMAN ships and therefore by attacking them game engine declarded us hostile for next 24 hours.Perhaps next time we should wait a bit,before starting return trip.

[Borgneface]

Ah.....Good to know I am not the only one....Those target ships were British, all of them.....But as you say they might have German's in disguise.....Anyway yes next time I am in this sort of situation, I'll wait before going back ti base....

Good hunting to all

Germany wasn't at war with Great Britain until 11am on the 3rd of September 1939 so if you attacked any British ships prior to then you're up sh*t creek without a paddle.
