Suez Canal
 

Hi,

I am currently in mid 1942 in the med in my IXC. I plan to go to Penang, though I doubt that my fuel will be enough. I need a IXD sub :roll:

Anyway, has anyone ever tried sailing through the Suez Canal? That would save a lot of time and fuel. I once sneaked into it and raided Port Said, but never tried to sail through the whole canal.

Good Luck.:arrgh!:

Were you fond of your boat & crew?
:rotfl::rotfl:

You do know it's used by the Allies :o .....dont you ? :hmm:

Audacious.............I like it.

You will DIE you know that right? ;)

Well its only 165km from end to end on my map so submerged is out of the question. If I was you I'd sneak up to Port Said undercover of darkness and surface about 5 km outside the entrance to the canal. Take a big breath and run the engines to flank and just go for it!! If you can maintain 15 knots you'll be through it in 6 hours :D

The important thing is to make it look like you belong there. Dont look anybody in the eye and make sure the bridge crew arent wearing lederhosen and you'll be fine :up:

LMAO :rotfl:

Also tell Bernard NOT to put the German navy flag on your U-boat, but the Royal Navy one instead.

If the nefarious Cpt. Lehman and his GWXers haven't messed with it, I'd bet if you sneak in ,you can surface after a few kms and enjoy a sunny, peaceful crossing. Don't forget to submerge as you're going out. :cool:

BTW, could I have your stereo and that sweater your mother knit you? :D

I tried that once. I just about got into it...and was pinged by something.

But within 10 minutes i had at least 6 ships all over me.

I made it into the canal...with 10% hull integrety.

lol...lets us know how that worked out for ya!

i made it halfway through once bu twheni submereged an aircraft ended my carreer:down:

sry Corrections: But when i surfaced

Maybe you can go "in Mufti" dress up like a submarine from Aden they will
never know then.......................:rotfl:

Pretend you captued a Uboat, have your Chicago born CE do all the talking, and fly the US flag. And tell em Roosevelt and Churchill sent ya. You might get just a wee bit further. :rotfl:

LOL. A bit like when Han Solo told Chewbacca to "I don't know... FLY CASUAL!" on the way to Endor's moon.
