Scapa Flow

Reinhard Hardegen · 12-26-06, 03:49 PM

Has anyone been to Scapa Flow, and if so what did you see? (ie. any big game?)

I just went there, but I wanted to see who else.

I went there and got uh...five destroyers

Went there in GW1.1a...not with GWX. Was mid '40 and I went thru the eastern inlets...very shallow and narrow. There was a King George V class BB waiting for me along with a few DD's, and Merchants.

I wouldn't try Scapa in GWX or later than 1940.

Yes I was there in Sept 39, 2 nd war patrol. Only saw patroling Destoyers, Scapa Flow was empty.

Yep early 41 (GWX) 1 Aux Cruiser,1 Dido class 1 Fiji class and a whole lot of trouble.

GW1.1 could still make it in 44, but i started at Bergen and entered from the northern pass, there are some sunken obstacles but not much else in terms of deterants... the western side isn't much fun though. did it in broad daylight sunk 2 troop transports and an Auxiliary.. hardly a wimper from the RN surprsiingly... did this once or twice that year. playing 96%

haven't tried GWX yet though, don't think i'll risk it. there's not much in later war years, hit em bright and early

There is generally nearly always something worth sinking in Scapa Flow...you have to go and take your chance...just like Prien did

I can't play, but since it's an improvement on what was already done, and since they said so, what is there changes historically. Sometimes the fleet is in, sometimes there's nothing.
