Getting to the warmer seas

If you want to roughly follow the route to Penang that RL Kaleuns did, then sail down and around to the Brake. Refuel at the Brake and then head up to the Arabian Sea. Have some fun there before heading across to Penang.

In total it could take as little as 60 days to get from Lorient to Penang or as much as 90 if you decide to patrol in the Indian before docking.

Don't worry if you forget this though - you will receive messages to this effect.

Other people go deep and run down the middle at silent. Its quite a challenge in GWX as it was in RL.

Thanks for the info Kaleuns. I shall be embarking on my long haul journey tonight after work. Still not sure whether I want to do the Med first, or head straight for the Indian ocean. Depends on my patience I guess!

I sometimes run 3 or 4 separate careers simultaneously to savour the delights of a few different theatres

The Med it shall be....I kept getting distracted by 3 separate convoys cruising around on my way down and just had to take a couple of shots.
