For bottlenecks try the western and southern approaches.

As always,good stuff jim

Rockall banks eh,that sounds up near Scotland,will have to consult my good friend google here

Edit: looks to be ESE of Scotland about 200km or so,SW of the Faroes,will check this area out on my return to base in a bit.

Ergh,lighten the leash a bit Steve,BDU send you to some ridiculous spots sometimes,a long time ago I once got posted to the very bottom of the map near Cape Town,I told Doenitz to "pi$$ off,you bloody go!" and threw my coffee all over his suit,wouldnt matter anyway,I abandoned that career to begin my new one with GWX3

Suffice to say Doenitz exploded with rage from my coffee attack on him,and he threw his all over me,and then it just got out of hand,with water bombs and cushions etc LMAO

North West of scapa flow, where the water gets deep. There are plenty of task forces early in the war out there, and I have sunk the rodney and an illustrious class out there, along with several southhamptons and destroyers.

Obvoisly the 2 bottlenecks entering english ports from the west will give you plenty of contacts, but you still want to stay beyond the shallows or youll run across ASW trawlers, Elcos and tons of other minor units that WILL report your position. As long as you stay outside of the shallows they wont find you as they dont go out that far.

ive been sitting 250k west of Gibraltar and patrolling N and S for over 2 weeks now and nothing but aircraft, dont understand why.

I'll jump in quickly while Paul works out his return of service

Are you using the GWX3.0 supermod?

If so, do you have either the Indian Ocean or Black Sea mod enabled?
