If you play for 100% realism then you would consider the risk (in real life) of entering an enemy harbor. There are, as pointed out, historical examples of submarine skippers successfully raiding a harbor. The "limitation" is that the actual risk in the game may not be as great given the AI reaction in certain circumstances.
For my part, despite the AI probably allowing me to get away with it, I don't venture into harbors unless ordered. I personally add the artificiality of giving the enemy credit for being smarter than the AI displays.
I consider myself a cautious skipper and "realistically" don't risk my boat or crew unless it's really worth it.
If you are not a 100% realism player then go for it. No reason not to do it. Take your chance with the AI defence whether it's lame or not. |
Is there ever an order to actually raid a port? I haven't seen one yet. I also may not have played long enough yet to see one. I play RFB + RSRD.
