What mods are you using? What level of difficulty? The Channel is a piece of cake in the stock game; not so much with any of the supermods. In real life it was a place u-boats avoided like the plague. As someone posted long ago: "There's a reason it's called the ENGLISH Channel!"

I use GWX and a few eye/sound candy mods. I play at 84% with only torpdeo crew member assist because thats his job and outside view just to admire my u-boat. Everything thing else is locked for realism. Like I said I think I'm blessed because I've never deid in their yet, I have my tactics and manouvres and they have gotten me this far, I just wish I had more depth to play with.

I apologize; you ARE lucky! Or very good.

I would never go into the Channel under those conditions. Of course I also dived when planes showed up in stock SHIII, but that's just me.

it IS possible to get through in early war, but I really hope you have found a good insurance for vandalism damage on your boat.

On my navmap, the channel has a big text on it

''SUICIDE!''

In early war several U-Boats crossed the channel, but it got more dangerous later. I know that Dönitz prohibited crossing the channel when it got too dangerous, but I forgot in which year this was.
