U-boats from Wilhelmshaven drive to the Mediterranean via the Red Sea.
Is this a bug or right?
Does this have to do with Gibraltar.
Safe crossing the fleet ????

I guess wrong. The Red Sea should be reachable by the Mediterranean, not the other way around. I suspect this happens because the travel times of Atlantic and Indian Ocean are severely underestimated, thus a unit that reaches the Atlantic might actually travel faster through the Oceans to reach the Eastern Mediterranean.

I drive across the Atlantic to the Gulf of Biscay, the journey is in Portugal to an end. (Neutral terrain)
I sit behind Gibraltar again, I'll continue to Mediterranean Shipping Box.
It takes 90 days. Addendum: 24 days
I put the submarine directly in the Mediterranean blockade box moves 54 days.
Journey along the Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic blockadebox.
Why over Atlantik Blockade Box?
But would result in a longer travel time than directly over Gibraltar?
I can only think that Gibraltar was strongly fortified at that time and the transit through the AI is above the Indian ocean to me.
But the travel time but must be longer than about Gibraltar?
