I noticed during a recent patrol that Curacao has a depth of around 400m! :up: This makes it very handy to escape in case of enemy destroyers. Are there any other ports like this?

I think Rio de janeiro is also quite deep is some places. Most ports though are shallow and dangerous. Great places to hunt though :D :D :D

Really ?...never noticed that before :o ...But mostly I lie a few clicks outside of ports and prey on the traffic entering and leaving :yep: :D

That works well too. In fact, one of the ships I sank (a T3 tanker) went to Curaco, then simply parked itself in a little bay. Having it stop made it a much easier target :arrgh!:

But yeah, in Curacao there is an underwater cliff or something. I pinged for depth and it was like 400 meters, and that was pretty closer to the piers.

Nothing to do with the game, but I went SCUBA diving there a couple of years ago, and about 100 yard swim from shore, it dropped from 60 feet to over 3000. One hell of a view when you swam out over the "wall"
