could be more real don´t use any enemy harbour traffic ,except scapa. and only before prien attack.:hmm: or midget submarines (not modelled in sh3) perhaps type II boats only.

You might have better luck if you sort out your problem with the dreams/reality thing:D Hang the pictures on a wall and stare at them hard for an hour or two should help!!:D

So why not just stick to the real thing and don't raid harbours? IMO it's much more satisfying to sink merchants and lots out on sea and it's helluva lot safer too. ;)

Well I've just lost my IXB in Lagos harbour. Bagged a liberty cargo a small tanker and turned tail to head for home. 20 minutes of ducking and diving and the VW DD managed to sink itself after colliding with me but the damned armed trawler finished me off:down:

I think I'll be sticking to deep deep water from now on.

Should have guessed really seeing as it was my second patrol!

I got a surprise for any and all DDs that get in my way.:D

All most Lost U-53 sailing into Nuetral Harbor Kristiansand, Norway fall 1939 on surface weather good. Lookouts saw a war ship in distance. I just keep going toward ship thinking it was friendly.:D Looked at in camera view saw it was a small armed trawler flying Norway flag. Thought we mite get a escort to the dock's :rotfl: :rotfl: She came close and open fire and killed a chef Petty office on Bridge:oops: racking us with machine gun fire.
Order Crash Dive in shallow water sent he crashing to bottom with l lot's damage sent crew to DC area and Luckey we got it fixed. The Armed Trawler had dept charge racks but did not attack us. He sailed away and parked near shore. We got damage all repaired and headed back east for open sea at PD and surfaced east of Kristiansand and when to our patrol zone. We did sink three English ships with deck gun. GWX weather turned nasty the rest of patrol and patrol area AM19 and hit the end patrot Key.
No more Harbor raids for me enemy or Nuetral. :down:

That's odd. I've sailed past neutral Dutch (off the coast of Holland) and Portuguese (Azores) armed trawlers without incident.

I just dont do them cause they arent too real. I prefer to hunt tonnage out at sea. Everyone strives for realism, and thats how I do it

I agree.

Raiding a neutral harbour with a sub would have up there with raiding a neutral city with an army. It simply didn't happen.
