Default Blidge Rat Attack

Hello ALL.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I call myself " The Blockade Runner, and I am a newbie to this game.

I had to upgrade my PC just to run it. But it has been well worth it. This game rocks

Anyway I am in my first career mode, Having passed al of the Naval Academy exams, And I have chosen the 1st flotilla instead of the 7th. I know there are probably some groans but since I am new I like the simplicty of the type II U boat. ( less crew to manage, ect)

I have become very good at stretching the range of this boat, I have been using my Electric engiens with all the crew I can as much as possible. I am 3/4 of the way to Scapa Flow and I still have 75 % fuel. I think this is good for a type 2.

Ive discovered that this U boat is too slow to intercept contacts unless they are discovered very very close. Heck im only geeting like 9 knts outta this unless I use flank speed which I never do.

Now I come to the point of this post
I am going to attack Scapa Flow!
It is in my assigned patrol zone anyway. I figure since my U boat is too slow to intercept than kill the ships in harbor. What I need is advice / Tips for anyone who has been sucessful at Scapa
Like the layout, what to do ect.

It is Sept 1939, I fugre the earlier I attack it the better, right? :hmm:
