I'm wondering how hard it would be to mod a Trafalgar,
Tiger/Spearfish Tomohawks and all
might have a chance then

They even spray the area with their .50 calibers. And you better follow the VP-boot out otherwise you might end up on one of the magnetic mines spread around by the Allies.

I had this experience while leaving port. I manned the flak guns as I thought I would be their next target after they had their fun with the port!

Luckily they continued on their way, seemingly oblivious to me.

And thanks for the tip about allied mines. I was unaware of that! :o

1944 onwards witha type VIIC in the north sea or atlantic is just a matter of surviving. But it is my favourite period of the war also, because the challenge is enormous :D

First of all you must consider it a surviving career. Not a tonnage career. And second, you will get the most reward and satisfaction if you are able to score some tonnage. For that, engage only ships sailing independently, or convoys from a very long range. With a good firing solution and the LUT/FAT torpedoes you can do it, trust me.

Good hunting :up:
