Tip for getting through the straits unmolested
Ive been able to do the run both ways several times now in all sorts of weather. Don't try it in 1943 though cos the patrols are very hard to get past.
I've been able to do a night surface run along the African coast. Get to within a km of shore though cos some of the DD patrols skip over for a quick look. Daylight only works underwater. Again if you hug the African coast you should see fewer DD's in the strait except at the narrowest points.
