English Channel & SH3 - your thoughts ?

AVGWarhawk · 12-20-06, 08:36 AM

I believe the channel is deeper than what the game offers, but not my much. Also, a channel is just that, a channel, so the 120m should be somewhere in the middle of it. I suspect there is a deeper channel to follow within the game but I have not looked for it and will not as the channel is no fun at all

IIRC in the Pas de Calais there are many sand bars/shoals that would be very dangerous for U-boats.

The channel is DEADLY. I wouldn't go through it at any time during the war

For info have a look here:

But for gameplay purposes I've always given this advice:
STAY AWAY FROM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL!!

sometimes I sit at the mouth of the english channel at the north and stack up some pretty good Tonnage but always very tempting to go in even further each time. so far so good.

the Forth of clyde is up there and here lately being very tempted to venture in and take a look see it may be my demise all depends on how shallow the waters are there and what kind of defense is there
