More escorts per merchant than the Atlantic and shallower water....but very enjoyable and one hell of a challenge....SINK EM ALL!!

And as an added bonus you're not sailing your boat all the way to Newfoundland or even farther to get sunk by the first Destroyer you encounter

Now that would be an idea...
I'm still in 1940 and my only two flotillas are 1st and 7th... Might have to dip back into the career that's in '43 and see what's up.

If I ever get a chance to transfer I will, might try some harbor raids if I get lucky but I doubt I'll get past Gibraltar

Plenty of bigger fish plus some interesting sights to see including some very colourful Italian ships. Patrolling east west along the obvious shipping routes is best but if you are stuck drop in to Malta where there is almost always a a capital ship or two to have a crack at in the harbour if you are feeling very brave!

I know about the east west shipping routes, but I might have a go at a bit of harbour raiding:hmm:

Remember!! These guys are on your side....well, for a little while anyway

Depends on how late in '43 you start. If you start after September 1943 they are on the other side, as are their aircraft!
