In early war, (must be in the right time in 1939~1940), scapa flow, firth of forth, liverpool (never, never, too many minefields+patrols),...

Later war, NEVER. Capital ships NEVER dock at ports, but goes with task force. You may be able to inflitrate a base with a Light cruiser and several landing ships, troop transports, and other stuffs with Harbour Traffic v1.47 mod which I used before GWX.

WARNING, ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE PREYS ARE JUICY (I prefer landing ships first since they must go down with 2 fish, with appox. 300 renown falls on my hand), NEVER SURFACE, since TROOP TRANSPORTS OWNS 6 GUNS and a lot of MGs. The Cruiser, of cause the more. I once died due to the greedy mind

You can never sunk all of them, as you don't own enough fish (even XXI is not adequate if u use duds and the weather is no good)

In other words

run Sh3gen.

EVERY TIME!!

Hakahura · 12-23-06, 09:31 AM

Jimbuna is right. SH3 Gen is the way ahead!

The way I see it, is whether he believes what they say or not, in R/L no sensible Kaleun would leave ever laeve port without talking to a Naval Intelligence Officer. There are lives at stake here gentelmen!

Piece of intel I've got for the community....

Nov 39, Scapa Flow. A s&!% load of Destroyers but...

1 Aux Cruiser and..... The Hood !!!

Shooting still standing ships in harbours is no sport.

Hakahura · 12-23-06, 09:44 AM

Getting in and out is the sport... The kills the reward!

Besides Herr Prien thought it was a good idea, and if its good enough for him...

Sailor Steve · 12-23-06, 12:00 PM

And throughout the entire war he was the only one who got away with it. After October 1939 the British beefed up security to the extreme, and harbor raids should be next to impossible.

Biggles · 12-23-06, 01:31 PM

I guess the GWX team tweaked this fact a bit, wouldn't be funny otherwise.....

BTW, anyone visited NY in GWX? Is it hard to get in?

robj250 · 12-28-06, 12:42 PM

I just finished my patrol in AN21 (my first patrol with GWX - October 39) and was wondering if it was worthwihile to go into Lerwick Harbour.

Or should I just sit in between Lerwick and Scapa Flow and wait for convoys. or go into Scapa Flow.

Now going into harbours, should I do it at night or day?
