I use to attack scapa flow all the time in SH3, except I do it from the east.
I would use storms to cover the approach, then when I pass the nets I submerge and sneak in.

But this time i'm gonna bring a sub with some mines and drop one whenever a destroyer comes at me.

and how dense is the minefield... you would have to cruise on the surface or be sunk probably by shallow set mines...

Following on the projected route, and during late 1939, I had no problems to cross this field twice. I wasn't even aware of a minefield at the time!! Too bad my torpedoes were not working
