England...or Poland?

Zedwardson · 05-15-10, 03:49 PM

Well, since the untimely death of my last commander, my new guy Wolfgang Dahm has completed the "shakedown" cruse, and later (after real life interruptions, like garbage, dishes, making sure I have something to wear to church tomorrow, ect ect) Dahn will be going on his first "war" patrol, and due to the beauty of GTX, will be on station when the war begins. Now, the question is, should I go to to England to wait for late traffic from England, (or do something crazy like be in a English port when the war starts and shoot my way out

) or should I head to poland and snipe off there freighters returning home? Is there enough polish traffic to make it worthwhile?

(Now I am giggling about being in Scapa, 10 meters under water, with the hood docked at 1500 meters away, waiting for the "war has begun message...

)

and even though I have yet to get a guy to make it to 1941, bumping it up to 43 percent realism....

I don't know about Polish traffic. I've been to Dover before the war started. There is a cruiser there waiting to be womped.

I just spent a week disrupting shipping traffic over there. Got around 20k with 2 torpedoes and afew 88mm rounds. It didn't seem that busy but I may have missed a lane.

Not a great deal of sport at Poland....England is your best bet, there are a few carrier task groups headed for Scapa and Loch Ewe (as well as the Hood) from the north west in the early months.

SINK EM ALL!!
