You nailed it on my gaming situation. As far as I know I have never been inside the circle (visual?) of the approaching planes while still on the surface. Crash dives hid me as far as I know. My orders do not send me to the sse where the planes seem to come from. I'm off to the sw. I'm curious though, could I actually find a task force if I headed that way or is that not an option for the game? (The Indian Ocean being surprisingly big, I suspect I wouldn't find them, but if I hit the lottery would I find a carrier? Or are the planes just a game annoyance? Can the game factor in independent actions?)
