ADVICE TO ALL KALEUNS IN THE MED :

If for some reason you have to make a stop in Lampedusa, plse note there is a huge subnet across most of the harbour. Do not try to head directly in the harbour from the south, the two free channels are located near the lighthouses East and West of the entrance. Depending from which side you come, plan a route to the nearest lighthouse and stay close to come in...

Thanks! I'll try to rember it when I'm near Lampedusa.

advice to kaleuns in the med: get out of that little pond and into the atlantic where the real fight is

:rotfl: :rotfl:

just joking, kinda bored

Thanks
i just started a career there in the Med
ran across Italian task force, cool,,,,,,,,,but even cooler is the British one that i'm hiding from right now, i guess i spent too much trying to look at them

Another piece of advice
Dont try docking at a port thats not a ingame uboat base
Chances are you will end up on land :rotfl:

Well you will till the Jan update
If I feel like altering them
Personally I like to see the uboats beached for sneaking into friendly ports

And watch ouy for Goering's little helpers just north of Lam.... 3 different patrols I was so close I had fired, and the ships were sunk right in front of my nose!!!

The last time my eel hit before the ship went down, and I got credit for it - the rest, just wasted torpedoes....

Yep I knew about the bug.

I never said I had been docking there... I said I made a stop, which is something different... Just spent a couple of days at high TC inside the harbour at anchor waiting for better weather, which eventually came. This is what friendly ports are made for as far as I am concerned, otherwise why taking the pain of putting them there ?
Now I am back at sea with beautiful weather again, no problem.

That's what I usually do for serious stuff (NYGM career)

Just thought I would enjoy some nicer and warmer weather in winter while testing GWX...

well whats the point of the med ? i mean you have a smaller boat, the pond is small,
the main battle with the uboats was in the atlantic (AFAIK), to little space between land BUT there is one good thing about the med......the water is pretty:rotfl:

It's also kind of sentimental... I was for 10 years sailing instructor based in Antibes on the french Riviera and also worked some time convoying sailboats from Hyeres near Toulon to Greece... So I am visiting a lot of places I know...

By the way for GWX team : who ever found there has been in WW2 a harbour that size at La Maddalena ?

Our Italian member Scire
:rotfl:
Not looked at the size of it there to be honest

One thing the game could do with I suppose is some real small ports

[Corsair]

No problemo, was just attracted at taking a look as La Maddalena is one of the nicest places I know in this world. It's a group of small islands between Corsica and Sardinia and when you are there you feel very away from the world...

[Morts]

you might feel very far away from the world there
but im gonna bring the horror of the war to them

lol?
now all i need to do is to get my IXB through the straits of gibraltar
wich is prob gonna be tough

oh well
no trying, no gain hahaha

[Corsair]

If you have a close look it's an Italian harbour and italians are our friendz in zis war...
Don't think raiding an allied harbour would bring you congrats from the Old Man...
