Yes, I have always experienced a gradual shifting in Sunset/Sunrise and basically, attributed it to your explanation. I just haven't seen it change so drastically and wonder, what the cause may be ...

You can search about navigation issues,I believe the cause of them could shift sunset. I know there was an accumulate shift or a reset. Personally I didn't realise an excessive change to notice... How long it's your patrol?

I left St.Nazaire on 22 Sept. 1940 ...

Funny how this post came up, I've just experienced the same thing. In my patrol, I left Breast for AE77. That's just a tad SW of Iceland. I'm aware it's far north and it was July. All was good until I took a cruse to the north side of Iceland. At that point my daylight hours started at 1630 and ended at 2330 and stayed that way until I finished the patrol in September. I had a lot of success in the BE and BF grids after hanging around Iceland and moving south, so head'n home was not an option. It was still messed up. I was in the northern latitudes for about 50 days and never go above 64x. I'm also using GWX3. I've only experienced this 1 other time, many patrols and many years ago. After docking and ending that patrol, I started another patrol and all was good. The day/night times must have reset or something. This is only the 2nd time I've had this happen. I wounder if it had something to do with the arctic day/night cycle in summer months for extended periods of time. Just'a thought.

With me it's happening with CCoM10, right now ...

So, this what I do, when I want to take a break from playing and want the weather to stay the way it is when I restart and to ensure, that the damage on previously torpedoed ships remains and is still there, after I load the game again:

I save the game and return to the menue BUT I don't exit the game. I merely, go back to the Windows desktop and turn the PC to Hibernate.

This way, all I have to do to restart the game is resume the PC from hibernation and load the last game save.

This also, seems to reduce the probability of "Malfunction & Sabotage" from the Sh3_Cmdr.

Naturally, I do not use this practice, when I take a break from playing for an extended period of time.

I do wonder though, if this practice of mine, may contribute to the shifting sunrise/sunset "problem" ...

I haf to admit, I'm a little heavy on the "pause" I've pause SHIII over nite many times. Never in all my years have I experienced a crash or any problems with the game. I save every 3 game days and after tonnage. I shut everything down and restart every other save.
