If I can, I try to stay off the continental shelf altogether. I've learned my lesson.

Actually, in rough seas, a shot forward usually brings them down quicker than a shot amidships.

Thanks for the quote. Where was my editorial sense?

"The Channel? It's a cesspool of thugs and cutpurses. It's a dark alley of skulking miscreants whose only advantage is their number and their weapons. Let one look at you... and every one will jump you."

Pithier?

I know when I was first playing stock, before I switched to GWX, it seemed like they would send a destroyer or a plane almost anytime I sunk a ship fairly close to England. However in GWX I've seen less interceptors come searching in the area after a sinking.
