How do u Deal With Plane's (late War)? :ping:

me i just dive to around 14'm or so. but time to time i will fight it out with a single plane

[lambda*sqrt(u*x)]

Alarm!!!!!:lurk:

[irish1958]

There is no way to deal with the allied air cover late in the war for the u-boats. This is the main reason the u-boats late in the war were not an effective force for Germany.

[Sailor Steve]

I play as if my life were on the line, so I go as deep as I can any time one is spotted.

[Ivan Putski]

What everyone else said, unless you are caught on the surface, and can`t submerg, don`t deal with them. Crash Dive.:up:

[CapZap1970]

I agree with Steve and Ivan... just play safe to make it to the end of the war, not like in 1939-40-41, when you could expect to have decent results with the flak guns... :hmm:

Bold kaleuns don't make old kaleuns....diving to 50 meters at flank speed and making a course change does:roll: in late war :yep:

We are in this setting:know:

[TarJak]

Depends on if I'm playing or testing. If I'm playing I like to keep my
Kaleun and crew alive so it's dive dive dive...

Testing on the other hand sometimes we have to stay surfaced to duke it out so that aircraft behaviours can be observed and reported for adjustment.

[Koondawg]

When on patrol I hit P and be done with it....no since taking the chance of risking loosing my boat for a aircraft...:yep:

[Konovalov]

Dive or die. It's that simple really. :know: No matter if I have one pea-shooter on deck or a vast array of AA guns it doesn't matter. Crash dive, go deep and cross your fingers or say a little prayer. Staying on the surface and trying to duke it out with allied air assets is either crazy or alcohol induced folly. :yep:

[Penelope_Grey]

Alarm!!!!!:lurk:

Precisely! :up::up::up:

[melnibonian]

I dive as fast as possible and start the prayers :yep:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Late war, what's that :doh::oops:

[Penelope_Grey]

its the part where the allies use all this high tech stuff to find you and destroy you, and no matter where you go in the ocean a plane always seems to find you.

let me think about this....................

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!

[nikbear]

You don't deal with airplanes in late war,you run and hide,the flak option is only there if your caught napping,and there really is no excuse for that!its late war for gods sake,you should be thinking about making it to the end of the show not trying to win an unwinnable war:up: ;) You owe it to your loyal crew Kaleun:arrgh!:

[melnibonian]

let me think about this....................

DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!
No No No if you think you die. it has to be a reflex responce DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! ;)

[Hans]

Dive Dive Dive! Both myself and my crew need to work on our accuracy when it comes to gun duels with aircraft. I'm not sure who's worse; them or me...

I haven't been playing GWX 2.0 for very long, but enough to realize aircraft are a going to be a large thorn in my side. I've got a couple of test careers going while I check things out, but I've noticed in the latter part of the war ('42 onward) that it's almost impossible to surface if there's even a remote chance of allied aircover. Day or night, it doesn't seem to matter. Don't those flyboys ever sleep?

On the other hand, I've yet to see the Luftwaffe anywhere else except buzzing over the port when I'm starting my patrol.

[FIREWALL]

Take a deep breath and go deep and don't call out "Here Fido Hear Fido" :D

[danurve]

Late War?
Friggin unless it's a swordfish or maybe a scout plane I usually hit flank an "P" past `42.

[The Butcher]

Crash dive and pull up at about 30m. If they see you, hopefully there is no back up around.:dead:

[Thunder]

Wimps:lol:!!! In 1944 Fight it out on the surface!!! carreer number 793 coming up...:rotfl:

That would be a BIG mistake!

[NealT]

Put the game on pause...

Go change my pants...

Unpause...

Dive and turn...

Get out the towel and wipe off my forehead...

My flack gunners are deadly.
They take care of the bogies.. I stock up and gave them about 9000 pellets. :) Most often they kill the planes on the first pass.

The key is to turn your ship away from the planes dive at flank speed. Circling works after they first pass. Rarely do they hit.. Most often they will bomb the same spots repeatedly, so avoid the spots the bombed.. They are definately more dangerous late in the war.

They can be very annoying mostly when you are attacking a merchant. But with the correct turns you can get back on target.

Sorry JB I haven't gotten that far yet..
Stock game = Planes are fun

I just finished my first campaign.
It took years to get this far.
Will try GWX soon

This game takes more patience than I'm use too giving.
I've always been into the faster games, I suppose that is why the plane shooting interested me. Fast and furious fun in the IXC..

[Sniper_Fox]

ALARM!!!! FLOOD TANKS, DIVE PLANES SET FOR STEEP DIVE, RUDDER FULL TO PORT.
duking it out with planes is not only suicide, but i cant do it cause of ethical reasons... My gramps was a spitfire pilot.

No prob mate...you play to whatever way you like....good luck http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[Kaptain Hans Wolf]

on my first campaign back when i was a bit of a noob to subsim games,i would always try to kill aircraft. when i had the conning tower with 3 heavy quadrupile barrel flak guns, i thought i was invincible to planes. but after many an attack, i have learnt to stay smart, save crew, save my boat from damage, and save my computer from possible harm, i get a bit angry when my boat gets destroyed, but hey who doesnt.

[Deadlef]

just dive! you'll go down anyway. And the choice of going up again is just great!

Welcome aboard Deadlef:arrgh!:

[STEED]

Just wondering here, dose GWX do the same thing in real life where the planes would circle you just out of range of your guns in 1944? Interesting choice, take the chance of a crash dive or sit there and wait for a Destroyer or a HKG's to turn up. :huh:

[robbierob2005]

By the first sight of a plane........I press "C"

ALARM!!!!!!!!

[Stealth Hunter]

Get the gunners on deck, hard to port or starboard to move in a spinning motion, ahead flank, FIRE AWAY!

Works every time... for me, anyway. The circle part is very important, however. Makes you very hard to hit.

I have experienced that type of behaviour from aircraft in the past, but only on the odd occasion and generaly when they're damaged.

Stay underwater as much as possible , and get the snorkel with a RWR system.
this will give you the needed protection, planes don´t fly underwater.:hmm:

stay surfaced is suicide later in the war.

Mast mounted RWR or not, I just got stomped while snorkeling by an undetected aircraft off the Shetland's in November '44. Stay under water for crying out loud, Coastal Command will spoil your entire day given half a chance...
Good Hunting

[Hartmann]

Yes , it happens in real life, snorkels bombed or machineguned, but is better this than stay sufaced and try to dive.

Also raise some scope is recomended because it helps to detect incoming planes.

[gimpy117]

lol get the s-boot try to hit me at 40 knots!!!!
