If you start in August 1939 with the 7th Flotilla, you get orders to sink the "target ships" and "small convoy" in the Vistula Lagoon (most of which is in the assigned grid for that pre-war patrol anyway).

They're really "orders" from GWX designed to make you spend the time getting the hang of setting up shots and firing weapons. I don't think you get similar instructions when starting a career at any other time or base.

That's correct, this is the only Flotilla given such orders.

We also give you extra renown to make up for what you will be deducted for firing on neutral vessels.

Why not start with a solid platform,
