Can anyone confirm i have played for a short while and have GWX loaded, is most of the english channel 30 meters deep only??? does it get deeper anywhere else.

Some places, but the channel is not deep. At the last ice age one could walk to England.
Also, a couple of years ago a bulk carrier sunk in a storm, and never got under water.

The channel is deadly, but doable.. wait for bad weather, submerged during day, flank at night.

Those who are old enough would certainly remember the tragedy with the "Herald of free enterprise", a ferry who capsized in shallow waters in the channel.

There isnt much room under the keel, mates..

you have to make use of the shallow water by going near the edges where it is too shallow for surface ships.

Problem solved as far as I am concerned I just don't get in there...

This is an order from BdU that Channel is closed to Uboats transiting to the Atlantic.

Be warned...for example, a C&D class destroyer has only 3.5m draft...
