Default Do bunkers really protect?

Does anyone know if the bunkers in SH3 actually protect you from air attack?

Like the final scene of Das Boot?

Exactly. I suppose I could test it by creating a boat & just cruising around a harbor hoping to get attacked, but I thought someone might already know if the game really sees them as bunkers.

Its been awhile but, no I don't think so. I seem to remember trying to hide in one during an air raid, and getting strafed through the roof.

unfortunately, no

i do not believe any mod has ever been able to correct this, nor has one attempted it that i am aware of.

the pens will NOT protect you from anything. the original stock release did not simulate attacks of any kind against the harbor that i am aware of, these air raids against your home port facilities did not come into being until the release of supermods like The Grey Wolves mod for example... so i suppose the dev team just decided there was no use putting the effort into assigning any sort of protective values to the pens and the rest is history.

so... once you get settled into late 42 and early 43... it is best to get the hell out of port as fast as you can, because if you stay camped in the pen, you'll likely be damaged by falling bombs or machine gun fire from the bombers overhead.

Ah, that's interesting. I guess I really don't have to worry about it. I'm running stock SH3 with the 1.3? 1.4? (whichever it is) patch. Sounds like as long as I'm not out beyond the lighthouses I won't get attacked anyway.

Beyer way to know, shoot a deck gun and check if there's a coalition.
