My strategy is invading at night with calm seas, in rough seas I´ve tried it 2 times...had no chance, couldn´t hold depth and conning tower always broke the surface....and on the way in I´m mostly all but not quiet. Every escort which comes in sight will be sunk...The only prob in the beginning is that he has to know where I am...but that´s quite easy. Driven with flank speed :-p....And when the time comes when he is on the way right towards my postion...I use steam-magnetics....350-400m...my course straight in his direction. So I have 5-6 eels less (for 5 or 6 escorts) when I´m in but I´ve got a bit of time til the next escorts will appear...but I´m able to sink at least 2 more ships whichs lay in port....The prob is always the way out....no torps and pretty much escorts. The most successful way out havent been directly east of scapa most time.....It was the way round west north then east ....then going home. And in the night at surface (if nothing is in sight) always with flank speed, so long it is possible...Its quite a risky manouver but no risk no fun....although how I already said only til mid 40 I pray sometimes for suicide missions :rotfl: From end 41 on I wouldn´t try to get in. In the early years the chances are quite good to survive with more or less boat damage....but surviving counts
