I made it through in 1939 but I couldn't engage any ships due to the DD's showing up fast. Usually I take the nothern route and I find some easy pickings along the way.

Thanks for the info. Well Im in a type 9 from Wilmshaven, and have so far used the channel twice for my first two missions off iberian coast. I did not find it too difficult just quite tedious as lots of diving during the day, so on the whole i am travelling submerged during daylight.
However i am not engaging merchants in the channel as Im sort of role-playing that really one should make it through the channel undetected so as not to draw attention to myself before i actually complete the mission orders.
Im loathe to go around the north of British Isles because it looks like a big waste of fuel :-)
