You just dump them in the ocean, now that's a shame :rotfl:

do not look any further. this is great fun, especially in 39! Lonely merchants mostly.

As you can see, there are a multitude of places. One of my favourites is approx 200km west of Gib.....or AM52

It hasnt let me down yet!

I mention in the original post that I've tried it

No info on the North Sea, only the Atlantic.

Thanks for the info people. I returned to base yesterday with about 25k tons under my belt. Unfortunately, this patrol taught me I need more practice with manual targeting, as all sinkings were via the deck gun.

Here are the main routes and sinking reports. Sorry, the images are not compressed, since I use them locally when playing AOD. (Yes, I know this is SH3, but the data should be historically accurate.)

Thanks for that info MarkShot!

I dont know how accurate it will be, but I'll give it a shot. Shore leave is ending soon, so back to the war I go

I'm on my third patrol (4th Carreer), 1939, and just went through the Channel, there were some hairy moments there, to patrol BF25, very good hunting and 3 large Merchants:

Yeh I like to live dangerously Jim, wasn't so bad in 1939, but still not recommended for beginners!!

Sniper_Fox · 01-26-08, 12:39 AM

right in that little opening before you go into the straight of gibraltar, itssss sooo damn juicy... just watchout for the few DD's that'll venture out to look for youif your lucky, youll catch em off guard and sink a few DD's aswell

if you want to even, go through the straight, go to la spezia for fuel,and then hit alexandria or malta, they've got tons of shipping around there, especially as the war drags on in the med

when the invasion of italy takes place, there will be lots of allied shipping along that area to resupply the invasion

Which is exactly why whaling factory ships are priority targets for me, not just the tonnage but the moral high ground for a change

Blue_Ninja63 · 02-07-08, 01:57 PM

I've always found AM51,52, and 53 to be very good on a regular basis.

Good luck and good hunting!!

When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.
