Full Realism Attack on Scapa Flow

JJ MacLeod · 12-13-07, 05:43 PM

To start with, I am using the following mods:
GWX Mod
Wazoo's Draggable Nomo Mod
Raduz's Hydrophone

I enjoy hunting in full realism because it makes the game come alive, you have to get it all right, or you just wasted all your torpedos and have nothing to show for it. I was looking around for something really challenging and decided after looking at http://www.mysh3.info/shiii/index.ph...unting_Grounds
that I was going to try going after moored Capital ships in Scapa Flow, to be precise, I was going to go after these two:

1939/09/15 - 1939/10/10, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow

1939/10/04 - 1939/10/14, Battleship Revenge, Scapa Flow

Currently, in game, it is October 4, 1939, 21:05, and I have spent the last 4 hours manuevering around a destroyer in grid AN16

, trying to get into a narrow passage between two islands. I am finally at the mouth of the passage (which appears to have a lot of sunken ships in it) and I am encountering a minor problem. The weather, which was stormy on the crossing has now cleared up ... completely. The moon is bright, not a cloud in the sky, I have a destroyer that patrols within 4.5km of me that is moving at 17kts, ... and I am running out of oxygen

.

My question is this: Has anyone else done this run in full realism, and if so, any tips on how I might accomplish this without sending my green crew, and almost brand new boat (second cruise, still has that lingering new sub smell) to the briny deep?
