Nonsense, I tried going into Gibraltar in '42 on stock SH3, made it all the way to the docks and halfway out before I was completely shot to pieces and crushed to death.

Ooooooh suicide RAIDERS club, I thought you meant something else

Is there even anything interesting in stock SH3 ports? All I found was the same old merchant traffic (two ships I nabbed) and a LOT of v&w's and elco's. The elco's were almost cute, I squashed one with a single deckgun shot, quite the firewords it made. guess they forgot they were a torpedo boat...

Stock sh3 ports are a bit bland. Port activity in WAC is incredible!
Hit one the other night, there was patrol escorts, trawlers, docked DD's, Pyro ships, C2's, C3's, Landing craft tankers, other tankers, coastals, fishing boats ..

Wanted to take screens but the [.] camera/view bug would have killed me.

I love these threads, it brings the disgruntled IX skippers out of the woodwork

Phooey

I'll stay away from ports then, back to the boring same ol' shipping lines...mabye I'll try a trip to the east US coast next patrol and see if I find any new merchanting/warships out there...

When the US joins the war NY can be very profitable.

I had 60000+ tons until I lost all my saves for some unkown reason.

Well I swore blind that I would stay out of harbours but I kinda got pushed into Liverpool last night. Followed a merchant right upto the entrance to the harbour before I could sink him, damn near drained my batteries. Then a load of trawlers and frigates blocking my way back out to sea so I said what the hell and went in to the harbour. Got a med tanker and 2 med cargoes. **** myself a bit when i had to surface in the middle of the docks to recharge my batteries to get out but nothing came near me. Good job it was 1940 dont think I'd risk it again
