[stratege]

St nazaire. Using IUB1.02 with mines and nets fields

[Gizzmoe]

You forgot Wilhelmshaven and Bergen...

[kiwi_2005]

Kiel. :arrgh!:

[HundertzehnGustav]

Nazaire... easy in easy out
IUB no minefields :D

[Spaxspore]

Nazaire... easy in easy out

Nazaire

For the same reason

[Marhkimov]

La Spezia, because it will be getting a harbor "makeover" in the next version of harbor traffic1.47.

I can't wait to see how much better it will look... :hmm:

[Wolfram]

Kiel

Kieler fjord

I have been on it, take the ferry boat from the Hauptbahnhof to Laboe sometime and everytime you leave Kiel harbor in SH3 you will understand. :know: :up:

:lurk:

really, actually I have never been there

[Marhkimov]

Well, all bases are pretty much the same. IMHO it's just fun to be located in the Med...

[ReM]

I'd choose the Med for the nice climate, but St Nazaire for the quick ''ins and outs'!

[Kalach]

St. Naz for the already mentioned reasons.
I'm trying to adjust to Bergen now that's where they put me, it just seems odd sailing down a narrow river for a few hours before even seeing the sea.

[HanSolo78]

Kiel!!
Because I built great traffic with u-boats, merchants and escorts coming in and out :)

[BettingUrlife]

You forgot Wilhelmshaven and Bergen...

Would anyone really vote for either of those two? I'm really and truly vote for either of those two?

[Dowly]

La Spezia!

Adolf Bummer Jr
U-186
29. Flotilla
La Spezia :up:

[GT182]

Lorient: nice scenery, great band (LOL), and a nice leisurely ride out to sea with the gulls as an escort to
all traffic ;) .... H_T v1.46. And it's a great place to chase all those friendly nurses. They love getting caught by a sub captain. LOL

After you're transferred to St.Nazaire from Lorient in 44, then it's good as you need to get out faster with the air attacks.

[Polak]

St nazaire. Using IUB1.02 with mines and nets fields Same here

[Sailor Steve]

Since I'm still in the middle of 1940 with my three careers, Kiel is the only one on the list I've ever been to.

[Ducimus]

[d@rk51d3]

[Stierlitz]

Oh, great, another 2 years old zombie poll... :damn:

[STEED]

Penang! :P

[Iron Budokan]

I prefer Bergen but I voted for Kiel. Love sailing under those bridges at sundown.

[5string74]

St. Nazaire for the aforementioned reason: easy access to ocean.

[5string74]

But then, I AM a Brest man....

[Bismarck]

I like a nice bit of Brest.

[Jimbuna]

I started at Wilhelmshaven, and now I'm at Lorient. But Kiel is my fav. cuz the Uboat memorial.

[robj250]

St. Nazaire for the reasons mentioned above. However, I have to watch out the the aircraft attacks while getting a little further down in the Bay Area.

[baggygreen]

St Nazaire, cos Lorient is too finicky to get out of quickly, and its pretty much the only port i've been to besides kiel or willie

Who, btw, is the necropolliac??

Easy sussed by checking the post date of ressurrection :lol:

You forgot Wilhelmshaven and Bergen...
Would anyone really vote for either of those two? I'm really and truly vote for either of those two?

If you're going to pre-empt the results there isn't much point doing a poll. Someone always votes for the less likely answers.

I like the med but at my current skill level I'm lucky if I don't get a tour of the seafloor from an armed merchant.

The Med aint that bad...just make sure your crew are all kitted out with life jackets. :rotfl:

[SilentOtto]

I love Lorient for the surroundings, though the route out maybe a little long, it's always a great view...

[Stealth Hunter]

Mmmmmmmmm, Brest........

Bergen

http://uboat.net/flotillas/bases/norway.html

Quote from the site:

Bergen along with the rest of southern Norway was captured Germans on the 9 April 1940. The Germans immediately saw the great potential for using Norwegian harbours as bases for U-boats operating in the North-sea and the Arctic areas. Bergen was the starting point for hundreds of U-boat patrols in the war, from July 1940 until early May 1945. The only type XXI submarine to leave for patrol went from Bergen as the U-2511 sailed from there on 3 May, 1945.

The planning of a U-boat bunker in Bergen started already in late 1940 by Organization Todt, who also made a special group called "Einzatzgruppe wiking". They were set to coordinate the building of the U-boat bunker, as well as other bunkers along the coast. The construction of bunker "Bruno" started one year later. The bunker had 7 pens, including 3 dry-docks and 3 "wet-docks". The 7th was used as storage for fuel, oil, torpedoes and such. Bergen remained a rather quiet place during the first years, with only one large air attack. In 1943, the base was also added 2 new camps, "U-stützpunkt lager Prien" and "U-stützpunkt lager Weddingen" connected with the shipyard "Danziger Werft".
This was changed radically after the fall of France when Fdu West was moved from Angers, France to Bergen. A massive expansion programme of the base was launched, and several new Flak (anti-aircraft) units were stationed near the bunker. A lot of engineers and technicians were moved to Bergen. Additional 2 new camps called Werft Gemeischaftslager 1 & 2 were built.
Late in 1944 several massive British air raids struck the base in Bergen. In one occasion, a "tallboy" bomb went trough the roof in pen#3, making it unuseable for the rest of the war. The base was capitulated along with the rest of Norway on 8 May, 1945 when all German forces surrendered.

Today the bunker is being used as storeage for the Norwegian navy, and some private workshops. A wooden roof has been added to give the bunker a more friendly look. Most of the surrounding barracks are gone, but a lot of buildings from the Werft Gemeischaftslager 2 are still there. The surrounding area also has a strange kind of architecture. Due to heavy bombing, many new houses are mixed up with the pre-war buildings. This area was probably the most devastated area in southern Norway after the war.
