If you're running the contact color mod for GWX, this is correct.

Yep, I tried the color mod for GWX and that has help immensely. So what does one do for the first month of play if there's no war on yet?

Go on a shakedown cruise and get the feel of your boat. Practice doing all the stuff you may have to do under pressure once you're in combat. Well, not all of it, going rogue and attacking ships when there's no war on will give you a renown hit. But if you do take a prewar cruise and behave yourself, you'll likely pick up a little bit of renown and some experience for your crew and possibly a promotion before you head out to see some real action.

Here's what I do: I go on a quick turnaround, and then use SH3 Commander to set my days in port to 18. That way I can be one of the 14 boats sent out on August 19th, and wait for the war to start.

Or you can set your start date for September 1st, or October, or any month you want.

Hey Steve....I reckon we should copyright that answer. I certainly wish I had a £ for every time I've typed similar.

It does show that there is always a fresh influx of SH3/GWX players though
