Made it into Scapa Flow

[Herr Russ]

Running patched vanilla..

Since it's still early in the war & I'm on my 2nd career (War ended first career after 23 patrols), I decide to pop into Scapa..

The approach was easy enough. Between Kiel (7th. Flotilla) and Scapa, my VIIB sank 2 C3's and a C2.. We also took down a tug & a fishing boat using the deck gun and flak. I really miss the 2 double flaks and 1 quad flak on my IXC. Anyone else notice that a C3 can often be sunk w/ 1 eel, but a C2 may need 3?? Anyway, tonnage numbers are looking good and I avoid the first of several destroyers coming out of Scapa. Long story short, had to sink the 3 J class and 2 V&W's I couldn't avoid or resist. Made it all the way into Scapa, past the two docked Flower Corvettes & rows of searchlights and the place was deserted :damn: Was hoping to find some juicy targets sitting there..

Scraped the hull up getting out of there and made it to my patrol grid.. Got medals & a promotion and am glad I got that urge out of my system..

Good Hunting!

Congratz!:up:
Glad I never had the urge since SH II :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yeah I used to go in there all the time. Stopped once I started super modding.

Me no like mines


A lot of fun going in there though. So shallow.

Yeah congrates on breaking into Scapa, i go there whenever i want to, i own Scapa. But about the C3s and C2s, it depends on how the ships were constructed. , The more empty space a ship has the more water will flood it, C3s have alot of empty space, C2s r slightly smaller and more compact. if i remember Ship Construction 101 from college

Congretulations on coming in and out of Scapa!

I usually fire two torpedoes at C2'and C3's in stock game. Usually magnetics.
Then finish off with an impact torpedo if necessary.

Never even tried after I installed GWX. Frankly, I'm too scared to try...

Amen to that. Hearing all those warship contacts on the hydrophones gives me the shivers. Hell I just about got out of Lerwick with 11% integrity. Kinda cooled my desire to raid harbours for a while :yep:

Just been in their i took the shortcut in through the shallow narrows then submerged just as i came into the big area of scapa flow crept over to where the intel for the Royal Oak was but she was not present was well dissapointed wanted to sink a biggie. Carried on in under periscope depth silent rigged. stopped short of a lovely big troop carrier fired two tin fish at it that exploded at a sub net forgot this may have had this around it still learing. Had on torp left used it on a moored destroyer that went down fast. I had to then leave in my IIB only had three tin fish.

Next time i will remeber anti tin fish nets around such juicy targets.
