I was just asking, so I know the exact range, no intention of modding it, to stay safe next time
My experience shows after numerous penetrations of the bay proper is that you need to stay 6NM away from the guns. On the left side of the entrance, there is a small island with a gun on the Easternmost point. There is another one East of that on the mainland, on the first point of land before the land turns northward. On the opposite side, the point closest to the approach, almost directly across from the Island gun site, there are two guns, one facing the sea and the other facing the channel entrance. I always use the compass to draw 6NM circles from those points, and never travel on the surface once inside the drawn arcs. Maybe in the dark and heavy rain, maybe...
