I sometimes start late 44 with a Type XXIII when looking for a change and a greater challenge.

Same here, using SH3 Commander's "Simulate a realistic career length".

At some point I think I'd like to actually make it to 1944.

My preference is to start in -41 with type IID and then change to VIIC. IMO that year offers good balance in challenge and chance. By -43 it's retirement or death.

I am running two careers. The first is a "realistic" one starting in August 1939 with a VIIB, 2nd flotilla. The second is a "what if" with a XXI in Bergen in April 1944.

1st of August '39, or 1st of whatever month after my previous commander died in action.

Before operation Paukenschlag. Love the tanker-hunt in the American, Canadian and Carribean waters with my U-552!
