Default Whats the best ports to attack

This RUB1.45 mod has made me change my tactics, never would go near a port, unless im really desperate. But been in AM14 for the last 4 days travelling up and down and not one contact in site. On the way to my Grid leaving from brest, i only came across destroyers or arm trawlers.

June 1942 So im heading into the lions den. Am now in Grid AM93 sitting on the bottom waiting for dark, with crew resting. We will surface at 2100 and make our way into Liverpool harbour in search of docked ships.

What ports do you recommend.

Since Rubini put all those mines and subnets out there, I have been staying in blue water. But I used to go to Loch Ewe at least once a career. I'm still working up the nerve to sneak by the rock and visit Gibralter.

Thanks guys.

I made it out alive, no ships in habour, and for those wishing to enter i came across no subnets nor mines (June 1942)

But if you read my wolves at war post, i am in deep sh*t when i get back to base, recieved message from Bdu that i had no right to enter liverpool. Donietz has been informed.

Argentina sounds a nice place to live

Been to Loch Ewe about a week ago- (jan '40) nothing but a couple of destroyers and a burning T2... and the subnets in that side passage near the port itself and mines accross the inlet mouth. Bit sacary drifting in at low revolutions at PD, seeing all those spikey black balls teathered to the seabed, some careful manuvering was required
