Entering Freetown

[BasilY]

What year is it?

If this is your first harbor attack, try Saint Helena, Deep water all around, most of the times you will find a 10K Cruiser/and 10k tanker, each will go down if you aim right (Provided if you can see them). So it is worth a trip. Never attack Freetown myself. Don't know if it is still true in GWX3.0. Haven't don't harbor raids for a while....

All is remember about Freetown is that it's surrounded by a lot of shallow water teeming with MTBs.

Went in there once in 41,
Lot's of scrappy little tramp steamers and small merchants, the one decent target was burning halfway up the hill behind the town

Hi robj250, this my experience in Freetown;
Flat water 150km befor harbour.
RAF had attacked 2 times my Boot.
Freetown is a very, very hard target.

Greetings und gute Jagd !

July 44...two views showing minefields and subnets.

Average water depth of harbour is 17 metres.

I assume because it is stormy seas, it is best for me to wait and go in at night. But then it would be difficult to see the minefield and nets.

P.S. Thanks for the maps Jim
