St. Nazaire, cause it's quickest to get in and out of :)

I prefer Lorient's IX flotillas for the boats though.

St. Nazaire absolutely. First career was strictly VIIC and therefore it's a pain with my IXB since I want a IXC. :cry:

St. Nazaire. Very easy and fast to get in and out, and I much prefer the V11C to any other boat. It's dive speed and agility more than makes up for its limited range and number of torps in my view.

i have 13,500 stashed up :P :smug:

Brest is the best city not flotilla. its very quick to get in and out and its closer to the convoy routs unless u want to go to Africa.

How can you transfer to Danzig???

Btw, St. Nazaire is the best port, for me.

OK I will be the odd one here. ;)

Kiel

Why Kiel?

That easy answer for me.

I was there in May this year - I have been on the Kieler Fjord on a small vessel doing about 10 knots - from the dock near the Bahnhof to Laboe (at mouth near Baltic) and back nothing give me more pleasure then sailing from Kiel if only for sentimental reasons. :D


:arrgh!:

I haven't figured that one out yet, I don't have the option to transfer there but it says that Danzig is available (I read it somewhere) so I'll open up mission editor and try to start there. I'm Polish so that's a reason for my to try.

I'm not aware that any flotilla puts you in Danzig. But it may be available as a port to dock at to end your patrol...never tried.

St. Nazaire and Brest. I recently switched to an IXC and my base is now Bordeaux, France. So I go on a patrol, and when done, go back to St. Nazaire (the one I always had been going to) and thought something was wrong with the game when I didn't get to do promotions and stuff. On the way to work this morning it hit me... I didn't go back to my new home base.... Bordeaux isn't bad as a base. When the mission starts, however (maybe its the time of the game) the sub is in a pen rather than where the band is playing.

I used to be based in Lorient, but now in St. Nazaire, so I returned to Lorient by accident once. To make a long story short, I was to ferry the boat to St. Nazaire, got a couple kills off the southern tip of England, but I made to in St. Nazaire in once piece a couple of days later.

The med is crap. I think i sunk 2 ships that were single merchannts when i was there for 2 patrols. And they were both aussie ships.

There is only 1 convoy route. I never even saw a convoy. I wish they told you what ships were available at which harbours. I hate shifting around trying to find what ships are where.
