Lorient is a navigational nightmare, j/k :). I just follow the escort out.

Wilhelmshaven is the same, Kiel is not easy to get out of.

Have not tried any of the others, yet.

With all the careers I've run, Lorient is home. Tho it's a ways inland and takes a bit of time ot get out to sea from, I like it. For my GWX career, I've started at Wlhelmshaven but if I can stay out until after Sept 1, 1940, I'll be transferred to Lorient. Lorient is close to the action in grid BE where yiou can always find tonage to sink. ;)

Wit a type VIIB, VIIC, or IXB like mine?

For Wlhelmshaven career, seeing it was available Aug 1940, the IXB. Love that sub. :D I'll jump to a IXC and IXD/2 as soon as I can. ;)

Try to earn enough renown to get to a IXC then IXc/40 then IXD2.

Kiel:down:

LOL, I love Kiel...

I think it is the most diverse least-boring port in the game.

The 3D Moltenort Memorial is there...

Scenic Kiel Canal and bridges...

I don't understand why ppl hate it.

To each his own I guess though.;)

Moltenort Memorial in WW2 not in modern times? why?

No no you ninny. We put the Moltenort Memorial into SH3... It was built in the 1930's if I recall correctly... and it still stands there in real life today.

I thought it was built later on after the war.

Since I always leave port at TCx1 following the Flottenbegleiter and enjoying the ride (never the same time, the same light...) I like all of those I tried so far. Will have to try Kiel as I always started my careers in Wilhelmshaven until now for the Atlantic. For the Med just started at Salamis, beautiful colors with sun coming out under light clouds. I have a special feeling for La Rochelle, Lorient and Toulon as I lived there or close nearby IRL.

After playing GWX for two weeks, I must say that I'm really starting to like Kiel. The scenery is absolutely top notch. Granted the canal is a royal pain in the arse, but thats just one of those times you just have to go off and do the dishes or watch a movie (Das Boot never gets old :up:).

The first memorial opened 8 June 1930 (the first stone was laid in 1926). Due to subsequent decay, it was re-built/altered and re-opened 12 June 1938.

It's the re-built memorial (obviously) that is modelled in GWX.

FYI the memorial first listed the names of those who fell during WWII in Sep 1970.

St Nazaire and the 7´th is home.
Kiel is a treat with all big ships.
La Spezia has a good feeling.
Bergen has its Fjords and it´s a nice cruise.
Brest, my current base, is too close to the RAF.

How long will it take to visit all friendly harbors?:hmm: :up:
