thats where i patrol

wow...aparently ive done 7 patrols in a mine field

Unfortunatelly these are minefields and as the years pass they grow bigger and bigger. The only way out of it is to stay on the surface as much as possible in these areas. Otherwise head off to the Noth Sea and far away from the coast.

Who said picking up on England will be easy?

they grow larger????

Yeah, i had to quickly close the window to avoid gaining any "intel" in this manner. I prefer to work on limited knowledge and to try and predict where the Tommies would logically lay their minefields...

I agree with this but you still don't know exactly there the minefields are. The area they cover is quite large so just by having a look at them doesn't ruin your game.

Ayayaiy, caramba! Wie ein Lumpi ich habe in diesen gefarliche wassern gesegeln.

Those minefields hurt my eyes. Beats me how I have survived those early patrols.

Bababoom, Tommy is playing dirty.

More reason to: Stay away from shallow water!

You can always tell when Jimbuba returns to port. His crew on deck are all one-footed and leaning on crutches. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Holy Crap!

How did I survive all those early war patrols through there. I was constantly running submerged around that part of England!

You're a very lucky man

XXi · 03-02-07, 09:13 PM

You were lucky then... I`ve made some fortunate patrols in the area, but on the other hand... three times I`ve been killed by a mine. The one case that was just enough was after LONG battle against convoy`s escort. It lasted for about 9 hrs of gametime ( and about 3 hrs of RL ). Finally, damaged and after hitting a bottom due to the flooding, exhausted, I managed to escape. And just few miles away Ka-BOOM !

That`s why I avoid minefields. I know it`s just a certain risk but such death is just pain.

NEVER get close to shore as mines are everywhere, and dense. Be there in 1939 is also dangerous!

For me, I prefer enrouting north of Scape Flow (appox. 300kms) , to the Western Approaches, and hunt the lone merchants there. The sea is too deep for mines, beyond range of most planes and DD patrols

If you get close to an enemy port, you may hit mines (and subnets as well). Make sure that you follow the patrols' route when you try to infilitrate a base. (Except those British ports in India, I always infiltrate the base with my Type IXD2 --- great fun!)
