Jimbuna is right. SH3 Gen is the way ahead!

The way I see it, is whether he believes what they say or not, in R/L no sensible Kaleun would leave ever laeve port without talking to a Naval Intelligence Officer. There are lives at stake here gentelmen!

Piece of intel I've got for the community....

Nov 39, Scapa Flow. A s&!% load of Destroyers but...

1 Aux Cruiser and..... The Hood !!!

Shooting still standing ships in harbours is no sport. ;)

Getting in and out is the sport... The kills the reward!

Besides Herr Prien thought it was a good idea, and if its good enough for him...

And throughout the entire war he was the only one who got away with it. After October 1939 the British beefed up security to the extreme, and harbor raids should be next to impossible.

I guess the GWX team tweaked this fact a bit, wouldn't be funny otherwise.....

BTW, anyone visited NY in GWX? Is it hard to get in?

try it sometime in GWX

I just finished my patrol in AN21 (my first patrol with GWX - October 39) and was wondering if it was worthwihile to go into Lerwick Harbour.

Or should I just sit in between Lerwick and Scapa Flow and wait for convoys. or go into Scapa Flow.

Now going into harbours, should I do it at night or day?

The best port to visit is my home port where the alcohol is flowing the chicks are free:cool:

langyearsby is a good one

no protection (so far (1941)) there is a heavy transport and a whale factory ship
and a medium tanker i think. + a few more

SHUSH!!......careless talk costs ships ;) :rotfl:

ha:rotfl:

I don't because it was not the purpose of U boats. One time only been all the way up to Bristol early war on a special assigment from SH3Gen to sink an auxiliary cruiser. I had to try twice because of fog and the aux. cruiser was gone, so I sunk a 9000 t Troop transport to pass my nerves.;) The fog was in fact the main problem...
Only times I go in ports is for rearming from german cargo ships. I love the open sea and don't feel comfortable in shallow places...:D (I don't reload saves when I am dead...)

Want to find these harbours or ports.
 

In my Intelligence report (for my first patrol in October 1939) it mentions two ports, that are interesting because of what they contain, but I cannot find them. They are Longyearbyen and Dunkerques, but I've looked all over the map and I cannot find these ports. I am presently between Shetland Inseln and Orkney.

Can anyone tell me where these harbours are?

Thanks
Rob

Also, where can I get topo maps that contain the Brisith Iles, Greenland and Iceland and over to the east of norway and down to Gibraltar?

Don't know about the first one but Dunkerque is a french port on the Channel near from Calais. This is where the british embarked what was left of their expeditionary forces after the invasion of France.
On the map I guess it appears under its german name of Dünkirchen...

Longyearbyen 78°13N; 15°33E

does that help

Yep it does... this is Svalbard off Northern Norway, also known as Spitzberg... Ice and polar bears...

From where you are Rob Longyearbyen will be closer
Head east along the Norwegian northern coastline - toward Murmansk - then hang a left before Bear Island

Thank you mates

I hit scapa flow in the 1940 but after all the pain of getting in(avoiding 3 DDs in shallow water) all I found anchored was a poor DD and a small cargo... talk about dissapointment:down: (still blew them up... just for the sake of it:ping:)

At the moment, I'm almost to Scapa Flow, Oct 39, I might go in and have a looksee.
