Tactics getting through the Channel

Ah, I see. Thanks. At least that route is less hazardous than that hellish Channel.

That, and in the early years, there was limited air cover in those areas, leaving a 'gap' in the protection; hence the name. It is still a choke-point in access to the Atlantic (one that NATO exploited to considerable success in the Cold War), but it is much wider than the Channel, unmined away from the coast, and most importantly, deep.

I'll have to try this route. Before I would save my gave, disable my own IRAI mod, and then try to make it through the channel

After making it through the channel I would save, reenable IRAI, and then continue on

I do like making the Channel dash once in a while in 1939 though.. just to keep the Limey's on their toes

This is a great route. Got plane buzzed once and when I reached my patrol designation I ran into one BIG convoy. In the dark I attacked and sank 3 merchants and one destroyer. I went into the middle of the convoy and those dds thought I was on the outer screen. It was pure bliss.

I'll be using this path from now on.
