Well,
I'm Going in. (to the channel) Wish me luck  I love this mod. I've now left GW in favour of this. talk about getting pounded.  I had a strange event on my second tour though. I decide to go for scapa to have a look. In though the east route. However before I got there I had several reports of "ship spotted" from the direction of scapa. I was well in visial range of the east passage but could not see any ships.  Then suddenly a PT boat came though the east passage towards me. I was running decks awash , gave the order to dive then suddenly a CTD !!! first one for ages. So I had to restart the tour. Anyway I hope this mod does prove to give CTD's. Otherwise I love it.

 On a side note. in one of my U-Boats, U-123, I used the Channel as my sole hunting grounds. How did U-123 end up lost, you ask? Destroyed in base by a... reformatting.

Hi guys,
If attempting the English Channel, or any Coastal area near the English coast, I strongly recommend submerging for the day light hours and only attempting passage during the night. Also remember that once spotted the Air response will be actively looking for you and will be for many hours. I would recommend in these instances submerging for at least 6+ hours. You may find this thread interesting as well NYGM 2.2 Escort Logic Question <== link Hope you make it out alive and wiser  |

Heh.
Actually I had been tooling right along at periscope depth for awhile at one point. However, having my Obs Periscope up didn't help against the air attacks as they zeroed right in on me. The reason I started running on the surface was that my battery was down to about 1/4 after a few hours of that business and it was still mid-afternoon. Note to self: Must travel at ahead slow while submerged due to battery life. This ain't Duracell.
