Scapa Flow Sub Nets

BaronVonSchnitzel · 10-17-05, 12:01 AM

Ok...probably a silly question. I'm doing a single mission into Scapa Flow. I heard so much about it I thought I'd give it a shot.

So I sneak into it at night submerged and hit a sub net. Minimum damage repaired quickly and no Brits seems to know I'm here.

My question is, how do you get past them?

I dunno, maybe find the end of the subnet, then drive around it?

Doh! Thanks Gizz. My specific quesion is: Is there a commonly known lane to slip past the sub nets or is it all hit and miss?

As far as I know the western entrance is completely blocked. You can drive right through the middle of the southern entrance.

I'll give that a try. I was sailing on the eastern side of the (south entrance) channel.

Thanks Gizz!

BaronVonSchnitzel,

I was as Scapa Flow just a few patrols ago, and remember the fence too...

I uploaded a small map for future trips there.

Below is a picture of a safe-opening at Scapa. It's for entering the harbor from south to north, at the most narrow point of the entrance.

Press F5 in the game, and zoom-in your map view to 2500m (map zoom-scale is displayed in the lower-left hand side of the map). The 'east-west' measuring line I drew is close to where the fence is.

There's an opening about 1600-meters from the right-hand side of the shore. Just enter there and it should be fine.

Thanks, Average! I'll print that out. Should be very helpful.

Why not just surface in the middle of the night (or in the middle of a storm with poor visibility) and sail right over it ? That's what I did...

BUT - maybe I hit the safe route by chance and there is no way to pass above the net... :hmm:
