What!?! You can actually spot the mines/sub nets? I've never seen anything, I just go BOOM, and game over... Wazzit look like?

Whew!
I got through in VIIB with 80% realism & managed to destroy the ships in harbour however all were destroyers, I know there is the possabiliy of there being a task force there but typical, gone when I got there!
 There were 4 nets to get around (some damage from these) and a mine field - for some reason 1 knot! (my campaign based on TW & War Ace combined), it was pure luck getting in, but I wasn't going to go through it all again to get out so I waited till night, surfaced then "End Patrol"! Needless to say that a bunch of medals were waiting for me!

I finished my first patrol on my career I recently started. It's October 1940, and I sunk 4 merchant ships, one of which was American, I'm sure Doenitz will have my ass for that. Anyways, I got tired and I started to lose focus, and sneaking in to Loche Ewe while I'm almost asleep just wouldn't work very well. Tommorow I will though, and hopefully I'll take down the Nelson!

Yeah, for Britain it's not realistic, though. I've done a bit of sailing around the British Isles, and due to the heavy tidal streams the water is quite murky with silt. The entire coastline south of Scotland would on average have underwater visibility of two meters max, in broad daylight. The Brits talk about 'blue-water sailing' when they're not in home waters.
Gibraltar, on the other hand.... |
