This is how we simulate dockings and arrivals/departures of shipping.

This is what I figured the case to be. In this case, it probably saved my life. Well... In the game.

Thank you! It is your generous donations of tin foil that keep me going! The men are starting to look at me strangely while we keep watch for enemy vessels. I think they are planning to kill me, as my haberdasher is vastly superior to theirs. Mutiny is imminent.

Ime getting to the Liverpool harbor or even just the inlet is much more difficult than sneaking into Scapa Flow or Lock Ewe. Escorts just love to find any kind of type IX's there with that huge bullseye of a massive hull. Even with a type VII getting into Liverpool even early in the war is difficult at best (made worse that its shallow) or Bristol. Later in the war anything inside the Irish sea is suicide unless you've got mega paitence to spend most of your time submerged at silent waiting for the chance to pop up long enough to at least re-supply your air and some battery power.

The SE corner of AM53 is hell, but it's better than trying to come up from the south.
Once the RAF starts flying at night, it's pretty much guarenteed to be a one way trip.

Early on, I like the challenge of entering The Irish Sea, or even The Med with a IXB, but have never had the guts to enter any port. Prien, I ain't.
