Well its only 165km from end to end on my map so submerged is out of the question. If I was you I'd sneak up to Port Said undercover of darkness and surface about 5 km outside the entrance to the canal. Take a big breath and run the engines to flank and just go for it!! If you can maintain 15 knots you'll be through it in 6 hours

The important thing is to make it look like you belong there. Dont look anybody in the eye and make sure the bridge crew arent wearing lederhosen and you'll be fine

LOL. A bit like when Han Solo told Chewbacca to "I don't know... FLY CASUAL!" on the way to Endor's moon.

I somehow feel my SH3 GWX 1.03 is a little broken. As I told you guys I attacked Port Said with 7 destroyers attacking me. Well I broke into the canal and all the destroyers run ashore, most of them sunk themselves.

Raiding the harbour was very easy, only a Dido, a V&W and a trawler to defend the merchants.

Anyway, all the surrounding batteries didn't fire at me, they never do in my game. I can easily raid any harbour as long as I get away from the destroyers on patrol.

So I think sailing through the Suez Canal might be easy, as long as inside there are no destroyers (or they sink themselves).

BTW, another strange thing, I have the Funkmessgerät on board now telling me radio signals around me. When I look on the map I see the direction of the signals and - surprise - I often see a ship-sinking sign soon afterwards. Seems as if I have a super-laser-weapon on board and kill all those radio signals... Or is that a ship attacked by another sub maybe? Of course I don't get credit for sinking that ship. Could also be an airplane that went down... :hmm:
