Due to the hard-coded design of SH3, patrols can only start on the 1st of any month. So a patrol to get into a prewar position to before hostilities commence has to start on August 1st. An unfortunate coincidence as it means one month of basically marking time although your crew gains some experience.

Yes...70 years ago it all started. Were almost as far away in time from the Second World War as that event was from the American Civil War.(80 years)

Hello

One time i choose to start in August 1939, instead of Setember 1939, to enjoy the views, relax, and enjoy the peace time. I left Kiel base and i use the Kiel canal to ritch North Sea and Mancha channel to go to the Atlantic...i was in the half channel, listen some music in the gramophone and for any reason i go to the sh3 map...and i so the English Cities changed to red lol...and me in the middle of the channel when the W.W. II started...my face changed to all colours possible...but i was able to aproach the French coast as possible and sail away with out notice!

Yeah isn't peace time a great thing? especially when you 're cruising surfaced through Dover canal, and have a cup of tea with the captain of a British DD?

...And just think how much has changed between these dates... The civil war was fought with canon, horse and muzzle-loaders, WWII was the great war of technology, and now our aircraft are piloted by a kid with a PS3 joystick a hundred miles away...

Cheers to all the men & women, military & civilan, on all sides, who served their countries in WWII
