Tried a suicide mission and all I got was this crappy t-shirt!

Deck guns in 43? Definately. Deck guns in 41? yep. Be careful!

Yeah, it makes bringing down a merchant a lot more dangerous... If you dare surface alongside, make sure you're johnny on the spot with the deck gun and plink your first shot right into that damned deck gun (usually on the fo'c'sle, occasionally one also on the after deck)...

Alternately, surface off the ship's stern and start pounding her with rounds (hit the smoke stack right off so you slow her down)...in either case, forewarned is forearmed...after mid 1940, approach any lone merchant with care and scope her out before rushing in!

I've been lucky so far...numerous merchants hit the sea floor because of my guns and none of them have been armed - yet

I imagine it would be more than stupid to surface in the middle of a convoy since I did it and didn't come out alive

Oh well....

I was patrolling BF21 earlier today, just north of the Isles of Scilly. I was quite tempted to go through the Irish Sea on the way home to save time, but in the end returned the same way I arrived, around the western side of Ireland. I might only be playing stock SH3 (at full realism minus external cam) but I'm being really careful, in preparation for GWX.

I saw enough destroyers south of Ireland that in the end I didn't even want to think about the North Channel in the end!

After reading your first post I'm glad I took the long way around

Well, it's not stupid to surface in the midst of a convoy...if you've sunk the armed ships!

That's more like "FREE FIRE ZONE!!!!" Set the deck gun to firing and start blasting crap off decks with your flak guns

Was contemplating taking 35 on her maiden voyage back from AM23 down through the Irish Sea and through 'die kanal' but I decided to stick on the side of caution and return back north of Scapa and down the east coast, see if I can bag anything coming out of the east coast ports. Already got about 14ks worth of deck gun fodder but the weather's been a bit scheiße the past couple of days so I reckon it'll stay the same down the coast so it'll have to be torpedo time.
