Scapa Flow East entrance guide and maps.

John
The tonnage should go towards your U-boat upgrade and of course bonus points.
I am not currently running TWOS at the moment as I am testing out sobers mega mod which I have been involved in recently.
I do not think I will do BTF again with TWOS but will add the VIIB mod and carry on with the other missions.
It ia worth doing it once for the experience and although it has been modded to make it more difficult to get in and out IMO it is let down by the AI's lack of response.

Sorry to read that. Btw, did you resolve your 'text appearing problem' ?

[KirinFrost]

i used the same route as prien, not realising it until much later

had one career whereby i attacked scarpa flow 3 times through the same route lmao

however, theres no need to dive and travel submerged the whole time while entering it

if u enter at the right time when its completely pitch black you can actually travel on the surface like what i did

although im not using wos so idk if it changes anything

Don't be so detailed mate...

I cannot see any pictures or links to this guide in the first post sorry, what did I miss ?

[teesquar]

Sorry for resurrecting the dead, but I, like Rosco don't see any pictures. The wiki link works so I can at least base my route on that.
Assuming the online storage of the photos is no longer viable.

Yup, the British got some High Tech defense there!

Ran aground off the Isle of Flotta. Sank all hands in 20 metres of water.

Annoying, but found out it was all a dream. I had U-32 to take out of Memel Harbour to conduct Operations in the Danzig bay. Could have sworn I have done this one before...here goes.

I use the West Passage seen from the main entrance to Scapa. The West Passage has only a surface 'domino' mine ramp (I can't imagine another name for it; make too many vibrations and the mines will fall down from a ramp, so go at slow speed, at least that's the idea, I was unable to make the mines fall down!), BUT: no mines underwater, and be careful because the depth can go below 15m, you must head back immediately without turning in case of patrol boats, give the 'Alle Kraft zurück!" command.

Of course the main Scapa entrance has mines just floating enough underwater to destroy your hull if you pass over them. And TWoS has added land turrets to spot you. Without these turrets my idea was to follow a merchand going in during dark night to see it crash in the mines or we both go to the other side. This would have owed me a Prien Certificate


Good luck in Scapa !

My Mission in Scapa Flow in SH 5 was:

Drive inside, kill 3 Ships,go outside, be followed from 1 Destroyer.

So: go on, and see that you can move away.
Turn on the Periscop, watch around - nothing -
Come up to the Daylight

... and the Destroyer falls from the Sky, exact to the Location of my Boat.

... we all was Death in 1 Moment LOL
