Where the * is Murmansk ? Ah, just found it on the map

Stupid escorts are too good for me

The convoy is screened by 5 DD's and not even the crappy flower corvettes. This was the third time I tried to get into the convoy. Approached it from the front, submerged. Let the first escort pass me by, drove at 6kn to get away from her, she hasn't recognised us but when she turns on her default patrol route she finds us with ASDIC.

So if the screen is too tight to sneak in submerged I should try it surfaced the next time, with decks awash. But I'm pretty sure they will see me nearly as close as I am able to see them...

Perhaps we should turn off some of the front deck party lights :hmm:
