now I remember is conning tower emblems counted as modifications ?? if so I did one because I have a Lachen Sawfish emblem on my tower and I enlisted new crew too... so I am really aggressive now Bdu ?!?!

If you want new crew members before your 1st patrol pick the ones who have a renown value of 0. I do this frequently & haven't had any problems with that bug (to date).

So you went back to a save that was just before entering port, but after the sinking of those 2 vessels? That suggest the effects of that bug (loss of renown through crew/equipment changes) can be solved by just going back to a save AFTER you entered port. No need to redo the whole patrol then, it seems.

exactly, it works if you have a this kind of problem you can get rid of it by using your last save before docking I was lucky I saved my game 60 Km. to Kiel so I loaded that save and docked to Kiel again

Thank you but I get my renown that I deserved with a simple save-load action

yes I choose my crew from renown free ones but I don't know it happened may be it was because of the conning tower emblem or may be the crew but my crew was totally renown free so problem is solved I get my renown and tonnage back and headed for 2. patrol AN 81 wish me luck

Even with BST this was before a state of war existed between the GB and Germany.

I noticed that British Ports turn red just after Midnight on the 3rd.
I normally receive a message before 10am UTC saying that British Ships are valid targets.
Normally in the afternoon/evening I get the message saying that war has been declared.

Which is my que to go ahead and attack shipping. I have been lucky so far as my first kill has only ever been early hours on the 4th.

1st Ship sunk @ September 3, 09.45
2nd Ship sunk @ September 9, 1939 09.09

when I sunk first merchant the war was already declared and the British merchants were valid targets but that was happened day time @ September 3 not midnight and didn't hesitate to sunk first victim...
