Next time start a career by 2nd flotilla in Wilhelmshaven : no Kiel canal problem and a nice VIIb to start with instead of a type II tincan...:lol:

Well you can get a type 7 in the 7th too
The auto plot makes the canal easy anyway - if ppl use it :roll:
And setting land proximity in SH3commander to 128 means you whip through the canal
Some cool sights in Kiel in the early war
Blucher\Tirpitz\Bismark\Scharnhorst and her sister can all be found in the second port opposite the players leaving station in middle 1940 before the Biscay ports are available

Sorry was just trying to make a bad joke... I think I will try Kiel and the tin cans anyway next time I'm dead...;)

:rotfl: dont be sorry
I didnt take it like that
I always start in Kiel so I can whip around the Baltic and catch a few Poilsh at the outset of war
Never use the old dugout either
VIIB for me till I can get a IX series
