Hunting grounds?
I have all the answers :DL

Before I added GWX to the mix, I would make a complete loop around Britain. Now I can't do that, so for the most part right now I'm trolling around for the new sweetspots. :DL

When it's outright action I'm looking for, I fire up my uber-godmode mods and hit the areas I set aside for cannon fodder. :yeah:

I like Rockall Banks, Cape Hatteras, Grand Banks.

BF15 and whereabouts are pretty good, as is the northeast corner of the BE sector. Also, if you find yourself assigned near the strait of Gibraltar, you can catch a lot of convoys going in and out if you sit to the west of the entrance.

I love the Med! Beautiful weather, sandy beaches :sunny:
No seriously I don't know why people say there is no action in the Med :nope: maybe they stay inside the grid zones. All I know is of the coast of Alexandria, Port Said and Tobruk, there are ships aplenty from '40 till '45 anything your heart desires.

Single contacts, convoys, BB task forces you name it you can find it. I feel like I am on Safari in the Med's warm and inviting waters. My favorite pray is of course the Ocean Liners bound for Africa with fresh troops on board trying to reinforce Monty. There is nothing more satisfying then taking out an entire infantry division singlehandedly in a few hours of stalking, knowing that it would take Rommel about a month to accomplish the same feat on land :arrgh!:

Despite obviously knowing where the traffic is scripted in the area I occasionally like to sit off Port Said and pick off the traffic exiting the Suez Canal.

One day I'll enter it and see just how cramped that channel becomes when a convoy is transitting it :DL

Yes I know! I love Port Said! There is place NW of it where there is deep water region surround by shallow water. I love tooling around in that "pond" and picking of ships that pass by. :arrgh!: The real challenge though is surviving until late '42 were finally the 'Biscay Cross' (radar warning) becomes available. The bigest threat in the Med is ACs.

As for crossing the Suez... I have been close in and know that there are naval guns, pillboxes and what not. Even if they some how miss you some AC is going to nail you. I wouldn't try that unless it was before of after the War...

Use the cover of night to slip in while surfaced, but i do believe it is shallow and could be difficult to navigate submerged with a convoy traveling in it at the same time.

You could always script a mission having you start off in the Bitter Lakes :03:

That last one is the old OS thread.
