Mediterranean forever [GW 1,1a]!

Safe-Keeper · 11-26-06, 10:12 AM

OK, so I leave La Spezia in late 1941. I head for Tobruk, and upon entering the harbour discover that it's under attack from about half a dozen Ju-88s! Unfortunately, they either do not carry bombs or have already dropped them, as all they do is fire their gun turrets at the ships below. Nevertheless, I love it whenever I see German aircraft.

Next off, after having sunk three ships and damaged a destroyer in Tobruk harbour, I head for the Suez Canal. I want to see if it's as detailed as the one running through Denmark. I never reach it, though: As I near Port Said (the harbour right west of the northern canal entrance), my hydrophones pick up four warship contacts on patrol outside the city

. They spot me, attack me, and force me to head home, with batteries almost depleted and hull integrity reduced to about 50%. Which begs the question: What the Heck is Port Said hiding? I'm definetly going back there next patrol!

And I thought the Mediterranean was boring. When did it get so much fun?

Don't forget to do that in GWX when it is released. Huge hint

If i am not mistaken, there should be a Dido inside there somewhere....

There had better be:p.

As a side note, if you're playing in the Atlantic, try out Loch Ewe. It's protected by layer upon layer of mine-fields and sub nets. And should you succeed in penetrating this Great Wall of England, there's something very grand awaiting you within

Just don't bother to try to go through Gibraltar. Much smarter to go around Africa and up through the Suez Canal. Plus that it'll leave you in Port Said
