Default My First Hunt

Well guys, after all that struggling I put you through (haha),
I finally got what I wanted

I have GWX & Commander Installed and did my first Patrol.
Well,It took me a bit to ship out of beautiful Lorient France.
I was writing down & farmiliarizing (Spelling fail<) myself with the controls.
After a while I finally got out of there.
Not much action for a while. I was assigned to patrol BE22.
I managed to spot A british Merchant Heading Twords Cork, But i lost him.
I continued to chase him down at night and managed to find him and sink him at sunrise with the deck gun right off of the Irish Mainland,
I was HAPPY

Then I proceded to My Patrol Area. After those 24 hours,I was to return home. But I couldent help myself when a large convoy passed by Consisting of 3 cargos (possibly 4) and 1 destroyer. I was Surfaced, about to take her to periscope depth when I heard Arty hitting Aft. Took for down to 20 anyways. Soon as that beautiful death Machine Got close enough, Depths were in the water, we were at 110.
We sustained Minimum damage the first few times, easily repairable.
We were silent running about 2 knots east but he managed to pick us off everytime and inflict a little more damage. After a while We sustained Flooding, and sunk

I didnt expect to be a pro, But Im happy with 4707 Tonnage for a first Patrol.They crew was pretty resiliant to my commands which made me mad

Anyways, I am having some trouble with Commander, It seems like it only does half of what I tell it too. I have the Config Files for GWX and it works pretty fine but It only takes half of the things I tell it too!.
EX. I create a new profile with it, But it still asks me when to start? and even if I start the year I put down on commander, it will still give me a completly diffrent SUB. Am I doing it wrong?

Oh, One more thing also, I know this game has eternal loading screens but does anyone elses freeze like 3/4 of the way there, then like 5 minutes later it justs starts the game on its own. without even finishing the loading?..

Thanks Guys
