OK, with the advent of GWX and all the nasty planes (damn I was getting pegged after I received we are at war message). What do you do when a plane approaches?

[Morts]

ALAAAAAARM

i crash dive just as i get the message
im not going to enjoy their payload
or sleep with the fishes

[GT182]

If my crew is experienced and at the flakguns, I engage. They've shot down plenty so far. But on the other hand, if it's a patrol in in late '43 or into '44 I crashdive. The enemy AI a/c are just too good and too accurate to do battle with. And to me it's as it should be. ;)

But this is just SHIII without GWX installed. Still working on the 2nd SHIII install for GWX.

[Rose]

Crash dive all the way.

[The Munster]

If your Watchman spots 2 Hurricanes and you dive in time then if there are any Awards to hand out if and when you reach Port then ..

oops .. forgot to vote [hint] the letter 'C' has worn off the key from the Beta-testing experience !

[Letum]

1) Spot Plane
2) Crash dive
3) Correct depth if in shallow waters
4) Stay down for at least 1.5 hours depending on battery

[Grell]

I voted dive to periscope depth but that's because I don't want to ground my boat.

I haven't met a plane I didn't like as yet.:rotfl:

[Biggles]

Depends on the plane. If it's a bunch of Swordfish: comon punk. Make my day.:arrgh!:

if it's a bunch of Hurricanes, I dive, 'cause they're to hard to hit.:shifty:

[Subwolf]

Crash dive of course, or periscope depth if in shallow waters. This was a general order by Donitz, and as you know aircraft were the most deadly U-boat killers of them all. U-boats only engaged if diving was impossible for some reason.

[Schatten]

Crash dive, all the time, everytime.

It just takes one lucky pilot, even in a obsolete plane, even in '39 to really make it not your best day ever.

[mr chris]

Engage but im am a mad mad Kpt:yep: :arrgh!:

[Webchessie]

Go to periscope depth depending upon type of aircraft. Hurricanes are ALLAAARRMMMM!

[Sailor Steve]

Crash dive. I always crash dive, as I try to play realistically. I don't see why I should change now that GWX has made them even more dangerous.

[CWorth]

I also play realistically..your job is to sink ships not risk your boat shooting at a plane.So I crash dive and get the heck out of dodge.

[TarJak]

AAAAALLLLLLAAAAARRRRRMMM!!!!! Crash dive, tak her down to 60m and hold her steady Chief!

[Hylander_1314]

Crash dive, then get the boat down as far as I can. Change direction by 20 to 30 degrees for up to 4 hours. Then return to course.

[GSpector]

Hello All,

Just like GT182, I too engage but just like GT, I to have only tried the original SHIII.

I do hope to upgrade to GWX soon.

[CCIP]

If the plane is far, I crash-dive. If the plane is close, I fight it out until he passes overhead, then crash dive before the 2nd pass.

[melnibonian]

Crash Dive and hope for the best;)

[Goose_green]

I voted for Crash Dive, I then stay down for a while - usually a couple of hours then resurface and carry on as normal.

[Jimbuna]

Crash dive and live to fight another day...hopefully!! :arrgh!:

[P_Funk]

Nonononononononono. Your job is to protect your crew, and then sink some tonnage without being too suicidal. Don't fight bloody airplanes. They win. And even if you down them by engaging you attract more fighters and then any nearby escorts. But if they sent T3s instead of Swans I'd stand my ground. :rock:

But since GWX is (believe me) insane in the air department... buy a backup keyboard so that your family can still type emails to people with the letter C in their name.

[AVGWarhawk]

The reason for this poll is the change in GWX. The planes are relentless. I would hang on the surface and just ignore the planes. I can't anymore. So I have it set to automatic periscope depth when the plane is spotted.

:rotfl:

I crash dive always, unless they're too close.

On my first patrol in GWX I decided to shoot it out with 3 swordfish, just to see how they changed. Yeah...that didn't go so well. :down:

[SilverGhost]

Ayuh...the planes in GWX are like flies. I head for P/D and turn the rudder hard over on the way.

Thats why I bought this up because like you said they planes are like flies over a pile of cow crap. Before GWX I just motor on flipping the bird to the pilots. Not anymore, they are darn accurate as early as 1939:nope: I change my whole approach now.

[AVGWarhawk]

What is funny is 3 voted to make a u-turn and sign up for trench warefare:lol:

[Deep-Six]

Aaaalllllllaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!:d

[Alyebard]

Alllaaarrmmmm!, allways crash dive, also for a seagull ;)

[Melonfish]

AALAAARM!!!!!!
