Yeah, didn't realise it was pre-war

Unless you have to go south, why bother with the canal?
Timewise, it's faster to go through and around Danmark.
And, as a bonus, once you get past Læsø, you've a fair chance of finding targets.

No, gamewise it's faster to go around Denmark. The Kanal saves time in real life and within the game; it just takes longer as a player.

I always use the Kanal, and have my Near Land TC set for 128x. It takes me about 15 minutes to transit from Kiel to Brunsbuttel.

Good to know about that TC tweak in SH3 Commander...takes me forever to get through the Canal at 4X. I should have taken the time to RTFM, eh?

By the way, I gotta take the opportunity to state my love of the Type VIIB. The Type II is fun, though. Good on you for wanting to go to battle with 5 torpedoes. I did my 3 patrols in it at first. It'll make a wise tactician of you, that's for sure.

Belay my last. If you say it's faster to use the kanal, I accept that as Truth.
I only joined the forum a short time ago but, I've been reading the posts for about 2 years now, and you Sailor Steve, are one of the people I greatly respect. I always enjoy your posts, Mate.
