At what point will it become next to impossible to sneak into British ports such as Loch Ewe and Scapa Flow? I did it once in 1941 (Scapa Flow) and didn't encounter any subnets or such. Then decided to go on a suicide mission the other day and sneak into Loch Ewe in January 1943 (according to sh3gen there was a BB in there). Needless to say I got killed!

First hit a subnet and had to surface and speed ahead for .5km, then dove again only to hit a mine shortly thereafter. Bow completely destroyed and half the crew dead...

I guess I've got to get a IXD2 and go to distant ports instead...

But anyway, when is the latest that you guys have done this (key British ports, without using free view or periscope to navigate through stuff)? When do you suppose it becomes impossible?
