Very odd but I have had BDU send me to grids in the middle of England. I just return to port to get another assignment.

Yes, commander has sent me to land before, I take it as an order from BdU to do whatever the hell I want.

What we were trying to say is Cmdr sends you to places that aren't patrolable.

We understand that. The land locked locations are non patrollable as well. Go back to port for another assignment or attempt to enter the twilight zone looking for this CF74

I'd chalk it up to some friendly secretary at BdU deciding you didn't need to die this week. So go out just beyond German DD coverage, dive the boat, gorge the crew on all the fresh food, and booze, do a fuel dump and then come back a few days later saying you didn't see a thing at your assigned grid so decided to come back early for Bernard's important lederhosen fitting...

But actually yeah, it's just a Commander thing. You can either dock the boat at your base and get a new patrol grid or just consider it a free hunt and go wherever you think you can sink something.

No it hasn't. Whilst SH3Cmdr allows you to modify grids, it does NOT allocate them to you. It simply picks up the details of the grids that SH3 has allocated you.

If you do get a grid that doesn't exist or is over land (stock SH3 came with a few), then use SH3Cmdr to change it to a valid grid.

Ah CF74, the mountains, the streams, the beer, the Women .. Mama mia ! Myself and the Crew went by Train with the Sub lashed down to a double platform bogey at the rear .. the looks we got as we trundled thru the Countryside ! :rotfl:
PS Not long after, the Grid was renamed to a place name .. Brigadoon.

I'm also got a patrol grid very close to land (appox. 10m)

Luckily it is in friendly area (in the north west of Pola)

I just went there, stopped and wait to 24 hours, then return to Liverpool / Alexandra convoy route to hunt stuffs
