In-game calendar?

The better the simulation, the worse the calendar

At the start of each patrol on the 'career menu' page the day and date is given. You write that down and go from there.

I liked the SH2 calender. Wonder what they'll get me for my birthday?

If it's not in the game it's somewhere else: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/...1940&country=9

If the game cannot conform to the reality, then is the player who wishes to conform to reality that matters.

I understand. What I was trying to say was that if the game has it wrong, then the real calender is useless for determining those times in the game.

Was just starting new patrol and the date in game Apr. 3 1941 is a Thursday.

www.timeanddate.com confirms this.

The game itself recognizes calendar days with war years and with no problems.
