St. Nazaire, cause it's quickest to get in and out of

I prefer Lorient's IX flotillas for the boats though.

St. Nazaire absolutely. First career was strictly VIIC and therefore it's a pain with my IXB since I want a IXC.

St. Nazaire. Very easy and fast to get in and out, and I much prefer the V11C to any other boat. It's dive speed and agility more than makes up for its limited range and number of torps in my view.

i have 13,500 stashed up :P

Brest is the best city not flotilla. its very quick to get in and out and its closer to the convoy routs unless u want to go to Africa.

How can you transfer to Danzig???

Btw, St. Nazaire is the best port, for me.

OK I will be the odd one here.

Kiel

Why Kiel?

That easy answer for me.

I was there in May this year - I have been on the Kieler Fjord on a small vessel doing about 10 knots - from the dock near the Bahnhof to Laboe (at mouth near Baltic) and back nothing give me more pleasure then sailing from Kiel if only for sentimental reasons.

I haven't figured that one out yet, I don't have the option to transfer there but it says that Danzig is available (I read it somewhere) so I'll open up mission editor and try to start there. I'm Polish so that's a reason for my to try.
