The Whole Freaking British Navy!!

I am not sure is that set in stone date , i runned into same task force 200 miles NW from LE on Oct 10th.They were coming from Skapa Flow and were heading towards Rocknall Bank. It was still in RB area when i reached it 4 days later.Then they went south.

I made a save file just prior to attacking this group of course.

This way i can relive this...over and over and over...

I was going to post some screenies of the mess i left. But all they really did was settle to the bottom with it being so shallow there and all.

But it was definately the best eye candy out the periscope i have seen.

The only thing that comes close is those non-escorted big oiler convoys down by Cuba.

Funny thing was that i raided Scapa just before this one...got a BB there too.

HMS Revenge I believe it was.

Such a target rich enviroment! I'm sure you got awarm welcome when you got home. Hope you like it, as you are now enemy No.1 as far as the Royal Navy is concerned!

How did you escape Scapa flow? I always manage to sneak in early war but after I let loose the fish I get sent down under.

I would chalk it all up to luck in Scapa. That place is a nightmare but fun and challenging to get into in the same breath.

I just try to hug the coast after i raid the chicken coop.

Either that or just run like mad for the west exit.

Just stay away from the south entrance and you should be good.

Hang on: you know something I don't know? Tanker convoys with no escorts?!

if you go the area just south of cuba just after the US gets into the war, some of the early convoys down there are not escorted or lightly escorted.

Usually there are 6-8 oilers and a couple of large merchants thrown in for fun.
