Raid on scapa!!

danurve · 02-26-07, 01:38 PM

Yeah yeah we all probably tried to raid Scapa Flow.

I found it anti-climatic. Now try to raid Dover or Lock Ewe :hmm:

Last time I was anywhere near Scappa the game was mid `40 I think. I tried to short-cut through the lower channel ... screw that noise now.

i tried to go into scapa flow in my 1st ever patrol in a IIA with one torpedo. i slept on the seabed that evening

i'll try again once i can afford a sub with a deck gun

Ummm, I think the notion of bringing more than one torpedo is a good one. Sound thinking.

But, uh, yeah, um, a deck gun? You planning a duel?

I'm ashamed to admit... I've been playing SHIII for months now.. and I havn't raided Scapa Flow yet.

I went in to scapa 4 times in 1 career and the largest ship there out of all the times was a V&W and the last time i hit a min and started flooding and had to surface so the DDs made short work of me.

Its better if u go to scapa early in the war so u can get the Big Boys there. I got the Hood on my 3-4 patrol to scapa.

Anytime I hit SF, the biggest ship I see is a AuxCA and a Troopship.

Yet to see any Cap ships in the Flow.

sure, i do all sorts of stupid things. might as well try dueling with a BB. from what i've read here, most likely i'll find just some merchant shipping in port. in which case...

i've just upgraded to a sub with deck guns, my first deck gun...

on the way back from my first patrol i enter Scapa Flow through the western passage and see to wonder the Hood and a Revenge class ship and this is in GXW just to let u know and the year is 1939

sink the hood with two torpedoes unfortunely the Revenge was a different story

and emtmedic005 were u on the surface when u did all of that or submerged

andy_311 · 03-01-07, 04:12 PM

Done it in my 1st Career in gwx (1.1) not tried it in (1.02) but now am in late 43 no way am I going in there. maybe in late 45 when the war is over I'll sail in on the surface.

emtmedic005 · 03-01-07, 04:32 PM

I sank most of those ships submerged. I surfaced to get some external torps and i noticed a small ship comming towards me, the PT Boat, i took that out withmy Deck Gun.

What month was it in 1939?

Eagle Eye · 03-01-07, 09:41 PM

I went in beginning of Oct 39 and there was a Revenge Battleship and an aux crusier

Revenge Battleships are tough!!! took 6 shots to go down. I made it out with 85% hull
and a destroyed propeller shaft, Flak gun, and attack periscope.
