SINGLE MISSIONS
The Single Missions menu gives you access to individual missions and historical
scenarios. From this screen, you will also launch new missions created with the
game’s Mission Editor or downloaded from the Internet.
The menu consists of two main parts:
• The list in the upper right corner shows the available missions.
• The left side of the screen displays a short description of the currently selected
mission.
If you want to play the mission with a different U-boat model than the one selected by
the mission maker, use the scrolling list provided on the lower portion of the screen.
THE MISSION EDITOR
Should you want more than the single missions included with the game, the first
solution is to use the mission generator. If something more complex is what you’re
looking for, try the Mission Editor – included as a separate executable within the game.
You can use the Mission Editor either to create a new mission from scratch, or to
edit the campaign data for the dynamic campaign. Make sure you back up anything
you edit, though, or you may end up with an unusable install of the game.
Single missions also use the
dynamic campaign engine; you
therefore do not need to worry
about filling the ocean with ships.
The game engine will do that, and
do it with historical accuracy.
Full documentation for the Mission
Editor is available on the game DVD.

CAREER MODE
The core of Silent Hunter III is the Career mode. The game uses a dynamic, random
campaign engine based on historical reality. Every time you play, you can have a
unique career.
Career Renown
As a measure of your performance, after each patrol you will earn “renown” for
achieving objectives and destroying enemy units. Your renown will accumulate as
you play through Career mode. You can use your renown to gain access to better
U-boat types, improved equipment, or new crew members.
NOTE:
If your renown reaches negative values, your career may suddenly end!
Career Timeline
The career timeline will evolve from the moment you start your career. The time
spent on patrol will add to the time you spend on base.
Between patrols, you will spend time performing a number of actions: repairing a
damaged U-boat after a patrol, changing the type of U-boat, or upgrading a system.
You will spend a minimum of two weeks (of game time) on base between patrols.
NOTE:
No matter when you start your career, the war will always end in May
of 1945!
Career Options
Starting a New Career
While the campaign has random elements, you can customize some things to your
liking. By selecting a start year and initial flotilla assignment, you will change what
type of U-boat you will start the campaign on, the theater of operation, and even
the nature of the warfare you will conduct.
Starting Year
You can start the campaign at any time between 1939 and 1943. The later you start
your campaign, the more challenging the enemy will be.
