Where can I meet up with a few liners?
I'm playing the game over a year in the campaign mode and am yet to see a liner.
Does anyone have any good area's or years were they appear? I'm currently in a IXD, 1942 and no sign as of yet.... answers on a postcard... |

In 1941 there is a steady stream that goes from Liverpool to Halifax. It passes through the top left hand coner of BF 13. If you want to find it do a sound check and listen out for the fast moving mechant. You may miss him on the first go but more will follow the same parth.
I also find them in convoys late in the war. They have good protection from a large number of escorts but if you attack from inside the convoy you have a better chance of survival. The 1941 liner route last just for a year. but it's a great way to rack up renown quickly, I bagged over 250,000 tons on one patrol in an IXC. I came home with all ammo expended and Uncle Karl very happy! The renown was used to buy an XXI, which I have now and I'm loving it, despite it being mid 1944! |

I've had the game over a year now and have never sunk a liner. I only saw one once. It was heading west, away from Ireland at 21 in heavy seas. No way I could catch up.

 It a matter of luck but remember some captains are lucker than others. I'm currently fighting a hunter killer group of 4 escorts that picked me up on radar. 1 sunk, 1 damaged and the other two living on borrowed time

How to meet Passenger Liners
In a word: Advertise!
Fun loving WWII U-boat, non-smoker, would like to meet Passenger Liner for good times and maybe more. GSOH essential.

Liners in a convoy move with the convoy. There's probably one every two months, coming out of Halifax mid-1940 to mid-1942. |
