you could also try st. George's channel when sailing out of the French ports :D

</shallow water sailor mutterings> :arrgh!:

How deep is the water there?

Knee-deep :up:

No, I'm kidding, in AM36 it won't be deeper than 150 meters
st george's channel should also be something like that. there's a few deeper spots in there though, as well as in the Irish sea, I generally try to attack convoys and TFs and such near or in those, I'm not totally suicidal :rotfl:

I try to stay where I can sit my boat on the bottom without imploding because that's where most of the traffic is going to be :D no deeper than 250 meters mostly, and I've been in spots where a serious wave will put your boat on the bottom, but that was mostly in type IIs

it's also very annoying to take all that time to cross the atlantic just to get sunk by the first ship you meet on the US coast :damn: so now I just hunt near England.

The Med is an exception, I never go near shallow water there if I can help it, it's not necessary and if it's shallow there it's so shallow you can't crashdive safely, which is not a good thing in the Med
