I have never placed a U-boat on the seabed and turn off engines and wait for a while. How is it done without damage to your U-boat?

Dare I do a depth check done by whomeever does it?

Again, a bit of a cheat but with any supermod if you cut your engines and set a new depth, the boat will very slowly sink until it reaches the bottom. You can use 1kt speed to hurry this along and still take no damage.

IIRC Scapa is between 15-20mt at most.

I would suggest that you actually find a quiet area, stay a periscope depth & crank TC. The reason for this is if you are sat on the bottom you will be limited to a max TC of 8. (unless you changed it)

Edit - About GW changing the weather report. This was because the Nav Officer was never on deck to see what the weather was like.

I just on the west edge of the sunken ships on the east channel. I guess i't as good a place as any to wait at PD and TC the ime.

Hard to see at night, yes? You got a pretty good taste of what the u-boat watch had to deal with. Kind of cool experience via a game. Wait until day break.

You will get'em then!
