Sailing from my old port in germany to my 1st mission before heading to Lorient, as I sailed down the english channel I came apon a merchant. I plotted its course and set up my boat for a shot when it crossed my path, as I waited I could see the smoke from its funnel. About 10mins into waiting 2 friendly planes flew past the merchant and headed North. I sat and waited but nothing the merchant didn't seemed to be moving, so I surfaced and raced to the spot. There 600 yards in front of me was a burning Merchant, the planes had attacked it, 6 to 10 shots later I sunk it. The same with another some 20miles on.

I thought when I seen the aircraft Icons it would be like SH4 and you could ask for a patrol to find ships in the area. But it seems so far that they are scripted in and attack ships without being asked.

They certainly do attack on their own, after the first part of the campaign.

Came across a whole gaggle of Luftwaffe badly messing up a convoy in the channel.

That would be the awesome Old Style SH Controls (familiar 3 dials) for UI v1.3.1 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163208) by the TheDarkWraith :cool:
