Aircraft from hell

[Ilpalazzo]

Wow I heard people complain but I didn't have too much of a problem till now on my new patrol in june 42. I started from Brisbane, am trying to patrol around Solomon and I just spent way too much time diving from aircraft. I stayed under all day and decided to keep the scope down so the aircraft would stop bringing down my TC. After so many in game hours I am annoyed. It starts getting dark and I figure it's dark enough to avoid aircraft so I surface to speed up and cover some ground (er water) during the night. Before I completely surface I hear, "ZOMG! AIRCRAFT SPOTTED!!!11!!1" I hit C, I save and exit the game.

It was so ridiculous all through the trip in the Coral sea there were Japanese aircraft coming from every direction. Seriously, North, South, East and West. Ridiculous.

Are there any mods that change this? Is this sort of thing a bug to be fixed or is the game intended to be this way?

ps. kinda funny, one of those planes damaged my boat some and ever since in that patrol my guys just keep yelling in a frightened tone. He's still freaking out and yelling everything at me, "YES SIR AHEAD SLOW!!!!" "DEPTH UNDER KEEL IS 422!!!!" etc.

Yes, there is a mod to reduce aircraft. I know what you mean.
Aircraft in the stock game are a little much....

Agreed, you wouldnt think there were that many aircraft in the entire Imperial arsenal.

Best thing to do in that circumstance is to fight fire with fire. Go to the SH4 modders section and download the super guns mod.

With it, you actually enjoy spotting enemy aircraft. The enemy aircraft wont enjoy it so much.

I agree, In 1.1 I edited config file airstrike.cfg to reduce them a little bit, have a funny feeling it resulted in my first CTD and a few more in a row after, So i rolled back that change, It worked though, til it crashed.

Do you have a link or maybe can tell me the name of this mod? Maybe silly question but works with 1.2 yes?

The link is http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111231 and yes it works in 1.2

It may be why my SH4 gives a fatal error each time I quit to windows, but I guess its worth it, all things considered.

If you have problems installing it, let us know.

Actually I was talking about the one FAdmiral mentioned. Though that one looks like fun if I'm feeling particularly violent. I really just want the aircraft to stop spawning so much to begin with. If I can't then super guns installed shall be.:arrgh!:
