Attacking the submarine base

I haven't really done harbour raids but I can see the attraction.trying to beat all the Uber defences. I say each to his own on this one, I know it's suicidal but one day I might just try it

Depending on the year, certain harbors are definitely death traps.

But then again, it takes a certain amount of skill and finesse to be able to maneuver your boat into a harbor through a screen of at least 6 DDs in waters so shallow that you're lucky to sometimes have more than 5m beneath your keel while at periscope depth.

And then you have to get out again once you light up the harbor.

It may be a death wish to some, but to me, it's fun and challenging. Plus you get more of the "Oh, ****!" factor when you barely manage to get into a harbor, then realize that there's no capital ships, and only a handful of small merchants.

A jammed rudder and you are death ,and with this shallow waters british can jump to the water ,and tie your sub with a chain like a whale ,:rotfl:

the worse is the capture of u-boat technology in hands of allies inteligence. very easy in shallow waters.

My biggest surprise was sailing into a Green Nuetral Port in Norway going to dock and give the crew a little rest. Kristiansand looke like a nice nuetral port. Time Autum 1939 Nice sunny skys Not a war with Norway.
Here comes a Trawler to meet us. Relax we got a escort to the dock's.
to read the rest of story read my topic "Nuetral Ports" :rotfl: :rotfl:
A Long time ago When I got the first Silent Hunter 1 or 2? there was all ways 2 DD's Patroling the harbor. I would move in PD till I had a visual on the parked ships and the DD's on Patrol and turn my stern tube toward target set the torps to run slow speed Fire the Fish and I could be a long way heading out to sea before they hit the targets. DD's would never knew were they came from and would not try to find my boat.
Don't know if that woud work in SH3 but mit be fun to try.

It's is Big Red Button-syndrome. You know, always wanna push that BRB when seen - even that beside it reads DON'T PUSH!!

So we have three seperate syndrom in this game:

Der Kanal-syndrom
Stay Out Shallow Water-syndrom
Stay Away Harbors-syndrom

BRB-syndrom we must ignore because we must push button to launch torpedoes, but other 3 syndromes... I'm working with 'em
