Well, you can complain that they won't retire you, or you can complain that you don't want to retire. You can't complain about both. Well, you can, but people will laugh at you and call you names.

''Dammit why did they retire me when I asked them to!!''


Anyway I will try to survive the war without ''sabotaging'' my patrols.

Did you witness this from your sub, or did you play as the Gneisnau or Eugen ?

With SH3 there is also the boat career option. You can retire your commander and keep the boat with all it's accessories and veteran crewmen. Only the commander changes - which basically means, you lose all your nice medals and all that tonnage you've accumulated and get a name change and your rank drops back to a measly Leutnant zur see.

Your crewmen will look at you as a new green recruit and continuously compare you to the old commander. What's even worse is that the ladies in Berlin won't recognize you from the newsreel films and you don't have the Knight's Cross hanging about - so there's a risk your leave in Berlin is more lonely womenwise.

(I'm now beginning to wonder why I retire my careers, when SH3Commander tells me to. Sometimes it might be good to disobey orders...)

Shaffer_4 skin?
But this one is made by me Took me whole day. It is really hard to find the right colors.
I searched for "Schiffsbodenfarbe III" and also to find the right "Hellgrau" took some time. Because it aren't RAL colors.
