Some interesting stuff to learn from:

1. No wonder nobody ever raided Gibraltar
2. Especially when you run onto (!) a naval net next to a stack of anchored light cruisers, therefore forced to surface
3. Settling down on the seafloor at 200m for repairs and flooding recovery could work, but the surface guys can still hear ye'
4. And they eventually (1 hours later) manage to hit you with enough charges that the hull can't take the pressure at 200m any more.

Men down on the deck! Mediiiiiiiic! U-boat destroyed by pressure.

Hard luck mate. DID can be a pain at times. I'm thinking of avoiding Gibraltar in my current campaign due to the high presence of things that can murder me.

Did you not see that big sign KEEP OUT

I'm ordered to DJ21 which makes me uneasy at all.
BdU is surely expecting me to attack convoys in that area and I will obey to orders. but I've already decided that I'll stay submerged during the day and will only surface at night. if wheather is bad only batteries will be charged twice a day otherwise I'll stay down.
it's the only way to evade the massive air-cover, imho.

(call me chicken-hearted!

Gibralter is a fun place to play, not the port though that place is scary. But there is nothing like hunting and being hunted at the same time in shalow water.

If you find your self snaged in one of those pesky nets again you could always try simply backing up. It dosen't work all the time but some times you can avoid having to pop up.

You tried port raiding in a IX?
