But can't one start with Type II U-Booten anymore? I liked those a lot, mainly because there is less crew management to do (on the long run it is tiring to shift the crew around, and besides, did a real Kaleun do that?.... I doubt it!). Of course, the Type VII is more powerful.
Get SH3 Commander from:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=733

Now get the GWX3.0 CFG for SH3 Commander from my FF account (link above my sig).

You will now be able to start your career in a Type IIA in the 1st Flotilla.

Grazie Comandante!! I must install first the new mod and only then the GWX3 CFG, right? No need to reinstall GWX from start, correct?

Is there a way I can operate the hydrophones myself, or it is al in the hands (and the ears) of the sonarman?

Done and tried it on a mission! Really, also this Commander is an excellent work. I think now I'm all set to truly start a campaign!

On my last trip, I was ordered to patrol map reticle BF16. While on my way there, off the port of Calais, I came across a coastal freighter flying French flag, and so sice it was the 19th of september I went to attack it. With 3 torpedoes in its belly it went to keep company to Neptune. Then resumed my way to that reticle (FAR, more precisely way off Cornwall!!!) but didn't resist to the temptation, being in the middle of the night, to sneak in the port of Cherbourg. There I showed a french Coastal Tanker anchored at the pier who's the boss around these parts, and it made a painful acquaintance with my other two forward torpedoes. Now I have just one to use in the rest of patrol, and I hope no surprises come around! While going away I came across a small patrol motorboat, I believe british, and had to dive to escape from it. Then I met a big French cargo, and used the cannon against it, but then had to abort because a) it proved itself to be more than resilient, just burning a bit here and there while my crew was pumping shells in its hull and b) the torpedo boat was coming back probably summoned by the sailors on the freighter.

I submerged and went away, and now I'm 400 km from my patrol zone.

And then, back home in Wilhelmshaven for some rest and tonnage counting.
