I'm not sure if you can make that work or not, having started over so many times myself. Unless someone knows for sure, I can only suggest starting over from scratch and not worrying about it.

Has it really been that long since you've played. Most of us have been using GWX3 for many years now.

BTW do you know the SH3 tool which adds cargo type + casulties for sunk ships in patrol logs? I forgot its name and I want to add this info to my patrols again...

That's SH3 Commander. You only have to go to 'Career Options' and select 'Use Real Ship Names In Patrol Logs'. Just remember, though, that the names don't show up while you're playing. When the patrol has ended Commander will generate a new log with the details in it.

For added variety you might want to try my Ship Names mod, which adds several thousand new names and assigns them to the proper ship classes.

I have found following note in GWX 3.0 instructions <sigh>:

However, an existing career will not work properly with GWX3 GOLD anyway.

@Sailor Steve - yeah, I had to focus on some serious RL stuff and could not fight in Battle of the Atlantic.

thank you for your help
