I just don't know why people want Scapa to be more difficult.

Breaking the fortress is a remake of that brilliant and ridicullous situation, right??
Why go and make 1939 Scapa into 1944 a Gibraltar??  |
not shure, could be ppl like it more difficult because G. Prien got war hero status of what he did ?
...but true is he sank an anchoring (in that state) helpless battleship with sleeping crews (833 hands lost) while going away with it.
the visbility was so bad that he couldn`t ident the target as he shot. while escaping he got sighted by a destroyer signaling him because they mismatched him with a little depot ship or something. regardless of the not answering submarien, the destroyer turned away and hunted somwhere else.
...luck, nerves, darkness, chaos and the moment of supprise was on his side.
