Its definately worth a try to get in there when the evac is happening though.

Yes, thats true

Oh, and Goering's boys makes a visit too, you don´t want to be too close to the port when they drop their bombs...

Some screenies....I went a couple of months ago....

It is a pest to get there, but some nice juicy targets!

Yes, and my hovercraft is full of eels!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

(sorry, couldn't resist).

On topic: As soon as the fish start to go boom, you'd better go for cover, which from the looks of it isn't there. Would hiding/firing from those harborpiers conceal you from prying asdic? (at least you can't be dc'ed in there).

I have been venturing in this area for a little bit....and I am about cerrain I could walk from Dunkirk to Dover without getting wet by walking on all the dds and patrol crafts. They have been pinging and and depth charging like crazy (luckily nothing close) and I am 20km from the harbor. There must be quite a bit of ships out there. I am not certain what would be better to keep the map contacts off or have them on. I think if I had them on my nav screen would look like one giant spirograph design. There must be quite a few out there because I can't go above TC of 4 (sometimes 2) without encountering major staggerings and I have a moderate machine that never had a problem with SH3 before

Speaking from my experience of Dunkirk, at that point in time...

Your biggest worry is the Luftwaffe.

They carry out historic attacks (very heavy) on the port.

And neither know or care if there's a uboat hiding in there!

Ouch!
