I would expect Suez to be crawling with Tommies.
Through the Suez where I have traveled,three times between the years 1940-1943 and resistance in the channel is virtually non-existent,apart from the opening of In Med. which there is little participation DD, Trawler and four land units,and then they have some V & W patrolling the way some minor lakes.

Are you doing this surfaced or submerged (with unlimited batteries)?

I didn't think The Panama Canal was even on the chart. (Stock?)

Don't know about stock, but it's in GWX 3, although you have to be zoomed in to see it. Find Colon, zoom in, it's there.

Seems to be another GWX improvement.

I never had a desire to enter it in stock, but I did want to lurk somewhere nearby, and never managed to find anything but a valley on my chart.

In GWX3 it has a/s nets at either end.

No, it is not in the stock game. It is in GWX (and every other supermod), but it was originally created as a stand-alone mod, along with Kiel and Suez, but was quickly adapted for the supermods.

Are the locks modeled? GWX manual just mentioned a dam but not the locks.

When you enter the Suez Canal and go,

you must be surfaced,your average under the keel is about 4 meters,only one path out to a smaller lake, there are two land units, and then you dive to avoid detection, then the other side is monitored by two V & W DD,when you are away from your DD so, go to the surface again and continues.To answer your question about battery,I use the type IX boats, and not unlimited battery or fuel you can go down to the Red Sea and Aden von Gulf, or visit a port that Italy has taken over in Africa,for bunker fuel and Eels,I use in normal cases, 97% realist, and this does not give unlimited capacity,but try to go travel channel for fun, with patience luggage...
