I'd say there's something wrong with the scenario.

I did this mission the same way, Steve... sailed right in the front, sank the battleship, then exited through the western opening. Never saw any minefields - but did find sub nets in the western opening. I must have been more sneaky tho... never had a shot fired at my boat until I was outside Scapa.

Oh, I believe it. My point was that if the game lets you do that, the game is screwy. Prien was only able to sneak in the east channel after Doenitz had surveyed aerial photographs and the two of them carefully plotted it. After Prien's raid the east channel was sealed off. You should have exactly zero chance of getting in that main south entrance.

Perhaps:-

Minefields are not installed
IRAI is not install or at reduced difficulty.
Player was very lucky

Note hull status in post one shows 5%

The only change after i returned in Kiel was OHII from 1.5 FULL to 1.6 Full and the Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast.

I have set IRAI to 100% max difficulty..... .....

Note that the Hull integrity when i enter Scapa was 53% from an airplane attack......and when i get out of Scapa in my way to Kiel i had the attack from the destroyer here somewhere......in X on the map.....




I managed to return in my base only with 5% Hull intergrity.....

I have a saved game as i'm in Scapa. I'll try to find mines.....

Hope to help for the new scenario.....

In that case maybe the game isn't so screwy...but your planning sure was!


Seriously, though, my comment was also based on someone in another thread recommending Scapa Flow in SH5 because it was so easy. If mods have made it more realistic then that's great. I do like the game, especially with the work that's been done to it, and look forward to playing it more when I finally get a computer that can handle it properly.
