Do you hunt in neutral harbours?

Zero Niner · 03-10-07, 07:47 PM

Just wondering whether fellow kaluens pop into neutral harbours to see whether there are any enemy merchant shipping to bag.

On my first IX patrol, I popped into Rekyavik harbour on a whim. Found a British fishing boat which I sunk by gunfire.

Then in my 2nd (current) patrol, I visited the Azores. Bagged a medium tanker (13000T!

) & a small merchant.

Any others try this?

I know in RL you can't do this without creating a diplomatic ruckus, but this is GWX...

Short answer: Yes

Long Answer: Hunting in Neutral Harbours can be really profitable. If the docked ships are not armed you can even use your deck gun to take them out.

Yes. I have done it a couple of times. Once in a Portgeese harbor in the Atlantic. It was an island, and I don't remember the name. It had one Brit tanker which I put a fish into and a bunch of Italian ships which of course I left alone.

Finally got to US Shores and killed ten men. Its called ground the boat in one meter of water. Had to back off and go east.

Still having fun though.
