Sitting around in holes

timmyab · 03-12-09, 12:09 PM

I'm playing a WAW campaign at the moment and I've spent the last few days lurking in one of the slightly deeper parts of AN27 hoping for a big fat merchant to come past.The rest of the square is about 120m but there are two small spots where it shelves to around 150m.
I was just wondering if this is a commonly used tactic for hunting in shallow seas and whether submariners actually did so during WWII.Also does anyone know if destroyers paid particular attention to these "holes" when patrolling?
