Im currently in the middle of the most unlucky patrol in my career. Im floating around the ED grids with no success. Im about 7 days from needing to start back to base and I have nothing to show for it except a destroyed set of periscopes and flak guns. Where can I go to possible snag some singles at night with the UZO before I turn around and go home?

The fabled Tanker Alley.

NipplesTheCat · 11-17-07, 06:19 PM

Where is that?

Stealth Hunter · 11-17-07, 06:55 PM

Off Normandy. Can't tell you where, exactly. Sworn secret.

You may need to do a search, I have a chart screenie posted on the Tanker Alley location.

If I remember right, it is on BF39. measure 15 kms south from NE corner then run a line 240 degrees from there. That's Tanker Alley (if I got the brid correctly).

The other good location is off Cape Sao Vicente. Draw a line from 20 Kms. south of the Cape to the center of Gibraltar Strait. Lots of singles there.

Good luck!

Tanker alley strectches from BF3933 to BF 3977. Just go up and down those two points, slowly, and go to pd every few hours. Don't waste your time on the merchants, unless its calm weather, then you can use your deck and flack guns. I'll use up all of the IXB's eel's in 5 days there on Tankers and C3's. Oh, and there is also an occasional convoy

Herr Kaluen,

Tanker alley??

Refer to Operation Spinnennetz above sticky.

Check the intel map....

Don't feel so misjudged....you've completed your patrol, did your part in shielding off the enemy from resupplies.
The fact that no-one showed up in your grids means, that they are more likely to show up in others...so in fact, you're narrowing the chance of getting through the uboat-screen you help putting up.
Do your job...follow the orders.

Look at it this way: in RL, you would be glad you made it home safe again...and the end of the war got closer again too.
You will be an ace, regardless of resuls during this patrol in particular.

*edit*

sorry, I am VIIC/XXI-fan...
