What friendly harbors do you like/hate the most?
 
Just bored....so I thought I could ask this....oh and give a reson too btw...

myself....I like Brest, since it's easy to get in, easy to get out, and it's close to the action.


I HATE Lorient though. It's so thin and it takes ages to get out!

I like Brest, That one Italian place I forgot what it is called, Penang, Jakarta, And Saint something because it is way easy to get out.

I hate Lorient too but Im use too it.

I absolutely will not use Kiel for any reason. I just can't stand the canal. Lorient doesn't bother me, as I have set SH3 Commander to up the TC when close to land.

I waypoint around Lorient and go ahead slow till I clear out of port.

I like St. Nazaire, it's the only French port I've operated from so far, again it's lovely to be near the action :arrgh!: Kiel is my least favourite

Down wit Kiel!!!

It seems everybody hates kiel.

Naaa. Kiel is okay for me. (0% realism). I just take the long way around, like before GWX.

I like Kiel. It's neat going under the bridges. But then again I play at a lower TC than perhaps many do so it's not a big deal to me to go through the canal.

(And I remember when the game first came out there was such a hullaballoo about, "Whaddya mean the Kiel canal isn't modeled?!" :rotfl: )

Kiel is a great port
Close to the Polish baltic ports for the first patrol
Has nearly all of the major surface units in at one time or another - sometimes up to 3 together
The canal is easy to get through and takes no time at all

Lorient is easy to get out of too - I stand on the bridge and guide the sub out of there

Constanza is real simple to exit as is St Naz and Penang

Salamis is a nice drive out - scenery is good and fairly simple

Not tried Jakarta or Toulon yet

Kiel is interesting once--after that I wanna transfer!
Leaving on my last patrol, the Hipper and the Blucher were docked at the base. They were interesting to see,

I sort of like Lorient it has a snug feel to it--plus I like the food :rotfl:

Except in between april 1940 to March of 1942 Km Scharnhorst and Gneisenau is there!

Dallass_Drake 01-06-07 08:39 PM

I'm in Wilhelmshaven now and have had Tirpitz sitting there on my way out on the last few patrols :arrgh!: Beautiful, it's the only larger German Warship I've seen though
