Default Scapa Flow

It seems plenty has been left out here after a little look. 1st no sunken ships to block the passage. 2nd No Sub nets. 3rd DD are using the passage like a back door, i thought it was blocked!. 4th Seems a bit light on birthing for ships for a major port! . And while I'm on a roll, i find it odd that it can take 4 or 5 torpedoes to sink medium sized ships, they just seem to burn indefinably and never sink. Plenty for Ubi to get there teeth into. Seems it was rushed out so they could get the money coming in.

Cheers Dutch

Scapa was the base for the British home fleet, which at the start of the war was the biggest in the World. Pretty much the only time they all left was when the Bismark made a run for it, then they all came back except one very notable exception. Therefore, like you, I would think it should be teeming with vessels, from Battleships and Carriers right down to oilers and tenders. This is very anoying to me as along with Gibralter, Scapa should be the toughest nut to crack and the rewards should be the greatest. I would even like to see renown increase for sinking vessels in these major harbours but of course that couldn't be the case if you can sail right in on the surface a blast the hell out of the 3/4 Dido Cruisers that are there

It's just disappointing that ubi never noticed what was done with SH3 and used that as a base line for SH5. Maybe they should give the GWX team a job in future, it seems the part timers are better at making simulations than the full timers

Cheers
