Harbour raids -Which ones and why
 
Having carried out a few harbour raids myself I just wondered which ports you guys raid the most and why

I prefer Loch Ewe and the Caribbean ports - plenty of tankers\capital ships

Post your favourites

Scapa Flow because you've got 3 entry (and thus exit) points, plus its the closest port to greenland - I spend a lot of time on the PQ convoy route.

Ports on my to-do list are Cape Town and New York. ;)

Portland for me, its nice and big. I dont mind the sub nets either. I just ram over them at perischope depth:rotfl:

Loch ewe, and scapa flow for me. Almost always a battleship or cruiser sitting there:up: .

Problem is they soak up so many torpedoes:cry:

Dover is one of my favorites (also very easy, if you avoid the mines on the east coast)

New York also. Almost without any protection, and you have the statue of Liberty as an eye candy bonus.

For me its got to be New York. Best looking port I've seen yet. (Grey Wolves 1.1) Fantastic skyline, cool bridges and best of all The Statue of Liberty with a big fat Passenger Liner moored infront of it. The place is full of targets.

mmmm not been to any US port just yet i could never be bothered to go all that way even with TC on max it still takes ages to get there, but from what your all saying bout new york i might take the time to go, i normally go to scapa and loch ewe

Which mod!?

I don't think I have once managed to get into Scapa Flow without finding the place empty

Have only sucessfuly raided one port and that was casablanca. Sunk four merchants and a armed trawler. Have tryed a few times to get into loch ewe but each time i end up in davy jones's locker. Be it by mines, aircraft or DD's i just give the place a widebirth these days. Might go back one day when i get a bit more experince of raiding harbours:arrgh!:

Scapa dries up after 2-3 patrols on stock sh3, but I'm currently running GW1.1a? and scapa always seems to have at least a couple of tankers and a troopie. (head through the eastern slip, throught the scuttled boats, then hug the coast north, right into the harbour)

Loch ewe always comes up trumps with a military target, or three. Well, in my experience anyway.

Last night intercepted a task force entering Loch Ewe: Carrier, BB, cruisers and more destroyers than you could poke a stick at.........



.....They all got away too.:cry:
