Harbour Infiltration Tutorial

Well since I'm reading this thread, let me ask: Have any of you ran into situations where new mines or netting was put in after you entered the port b4 you made it back out to sea? So basically as you follow the same path back out, did any of you run into mines that weren't there b4?

Never seen that before running with GW.:hmm: Though I have seen some very complex netting schemes where there are lots of overlapping joins running in a few directions.

I sat right in Gibralter harbour a few times, picking off all the ships that entered. My entire approach was under silent running, and whenever I needed to reload a tube, I called 'all stop' first. Worked! I lived, killed many, and escaped.

one thing i might point out is that in shallow water most large ships dont actually sink as they would in deeper water they just flood til the settle on the bottom and dont count as destroyed (which makes sense if you think about it all the tommys have to do is patch the holes and pump out the water)

when i raid harbors i go for broke just hammer every ship with 2 or even 3 fish to ensure a kill either by simply running it out of hitpoints or dealing critical hits

which usually means limiting your targets to 2 or 3 ships or finding a secluded corner to reload your tubes

oh and some targets i heartily recommned

new york harbor(minmal defenses in 1941, rich with targets)

gibralter (best raided early war before sonar gets mean, usually lots of big warships here)

freetown (big juicy targets usually)

rejayvik (lots of big warships usually, weather can be uncooperative this far north however)

good luck all you wannabe Priens

Get yourself an IX and set sail for North America. Sneaking into the harbours of Halifax, New York an New Orleans are really good to give your renown a boost

To avoid mines and nets, raise your observationscope just a little, so you can see where your going
