I usually don't shoot but near british waters (i'm playing with the 1st flotilla) but sometimes i still hit neutral ships (and that's a great malus to rep.).

all ships shown in black - that is to make it harder for the player to identify - obviously.
You need to identify them by the flags they all are flying and / or their entries in the recognition manual

- Is it possible to go back to vanilla SH3 AND keep the mods installed? I mean if i disable all the mods via JSGME and run the game NOT from SHCmdr but from the normal .exe will it work?

You need two different installations for that: One vanilla and some mods, one with GWX and some mods. Each one will need an own commander

- Third: idk if it's a problem with the installation of one of the mods, but for me Operationsbefehl Hartmut started a month earlier (4 Feb. instead of the 4th of March).

I'm not sure here, but normally, it takes always some time between two missions as it was in real life. Time is longer if your boat suffered some damage.

- I don't know if it's normal but all the orders i get is to patrol a specific sea area; of course i visit the ports near there and try to intercept the coastal traffic. But in one of my first games i rememeber i received orders in french (possibly because i had enabled the french fix) that seemed more dynamic, also GWX orders appeared once and from then all i get is the "monthly report". Is that normal?

You'll always get a single mission target, but you can go all around the world, nobody will prevent you from that in the game. Most orders that will be aired are for immersion only, some are based on historical events.

Sorry for the confusion and if there are errors, and thanks for the attention.

I hope that helps a bit, and welcome to the boat!

Yes it helped! So as i figured out i'd better get closer to the target befor shooting eheheh
Regarding the two installations, do you mean that i have to install the game again (sorry for the stupid question), or i just can copy the folder without mods? And btw, what mods do you recommend for vanilla/GWX?

About the Operationsbefehl Hartmuti mean that i received the orders (the historical orders shown also on wikipedia with the date of trnsmission) one month earlier!

Thanks again for the help and patience

Regarding different installations, you should better start from here to avoid all kinds of glitches.
As soon as you have modded your game once, you can't be sure it will return into a "virgin vanilla" one. So better start from scratch. All you need is in the given link.

Good luck!
