2nd Flotilla

Of course, if you go with the 2nd flotilla and the Type IXs, you'll probably want to bring along a small library - Some of those patrols can last AGES.

The II boat is like the first car I had in high school. No power, no guts and chicks laugh at it.

But with a punch that could knock your teeth out, if you weren't careful

That is simply no fun at all.

There needs to be an option of starting at the West end of the canal.

Type II is the true definition of power. You just can't use it. It's not made to get you laid, man. It's a full-fledged war machine.

Take the scenic route through Kattegat.

I completely disagree. I enjoy my trips through the Canal.

If you don't like the Type II in the Atlantic, try the GWX Black Sea campaign where you find your little Dugout Canoe at the top of the naval combat food chain. The Black Sea has short transit times to station, fewer aircraft, small targets that one torpedo can often kill and poorly equipped escorts. It makes a nice change from the North Sea, Western Approaches, Coastal Command and the RN.

Good Hunting.

Actually, it wasn't until a month or so ago that I learned that you could actually use the Kiel canal

This latest career is the first time I haven't gone the long way round. Now I don't have to plan out my patrols to the last whiff of diesel fumes...

I can't get enough of it.

So did I, the first time, or the first five times. But after a while, the scenery pales.

It does get tiring. And after the first few times, it's even worse if you went through it repeatedly in real life and are thoroughly sick of it.
