Sailing in to Kiel and the next EBCW came up on the map showing 4th September.
Ended the Baltic no ctd;s.
Bunker save then loaded updated AEB save, no EBCW showing.
Deleted AEB save and reloaded previous AIG save
This time No EBCW showing until the stopwatch showed 12.00 so previously it showed on nautical time and I should have checked the stopwatch had also reached 12.00.
Ended the patrol ok.
Decided to use Harbour Pilot for Skagerrak and go up the Scandinavian coast and cross high up for Scapa.
Polish merchant SV SMC starting to enter Kiel from Skagerrak end and it passed various escorts not taking any notice so I decided to take no action as logically it makes no sense to block a ports shipping lanes and it would be now captured anyway.
Merchant was then dive bombed and sunk and I got a ctd.
Reloaded the previous save now without the harbour pilot to guide me and same thing happened again with the merchant being dive bombed and sunk and another ctd.
Reloaded the previous save yet again and this time I sank the merchant with gunfire no ctd.
I also came across another Polish merchant Uekel SPT between Kiel and the Skagerrak channel and sank that also with gunfire.
It will be interesting to see if any other targets show on this route.
