Do you have GW installed? It's not there in stock I'm pretty sure.

What I used to do was come around from the top (on the other side), go to external camera and scout around scapa (dirty little cheater). If there was anything worthwhile, I'd come in from the west.

Watch out for shallow waters, however! I came in, sunk the Revenge and three destroyers, and got killed FIVE TIMES by the bloody rocks(or maybe they're u-boat nets?) smashing into my boat while going flank speed on the surface.

You killed three destroyers? Normally, there seems to be about 5, and I think I've seen 7. Even if you hadn't been killed by whatever, I'd still think if you were on the surface you'd still be detected by the remaining destroyers and thoroughly pwned.

EDIT: and on the eastern approach - I remember when I tried to sneak into Scapa w/the stock game and being rather annoyed that the east approach wasn't available. I'd read Churchill's The Gathering Storm, and remembered seeing a map of where it was. Churchill went on at length about the barriers he put down. I was under the impression he was pissed off about the Royal Oak episode.

Btw - has the wreckage of the U-47 ever been located? I guess I'll look that up on uboat.net.
