Congrads! I have yet to see more than three aircraft, even though I aced the AA test, I'm sure I could take em down.

It gets worse as the war goes on.
Rule of thumb - see/hear plane - dive. :yep:

:lol: Yep .... Gonna be a time that those planes are as irritating as a swarm of bees flying around your head !
edit : Don't be in too much of hurry to man the flak gun yourself either .. Let your gunners do it because those planes are also reporting your position to the nearest destoyer and she's on her way at flank speed :-?

heh.... IRL, when something like that is coming straight at you, you use what ever you got to take it down before it takes you down. Throw rocks if you have to.
That's why I allways man the flak gun when surface attacking, and I allways man the deck gun when fighting off aircraft.
None of this "right tool for the right job" crap for me! :arrgh!:
I thought it was weird that my watch officer kept calling out aircraft spotted every two minutes, couldnt he see it was just the same pby returning for another pass?. There were only three, so I surfaced and started plinking away with my 20mm. Got some hits, and then I noticed there were something like ten bombers trailing smoke. Checked the nav map, and there are fully two dozen planes attacking my boat. Yeah, I crash dived.

I aced the aircraft portion of the academy too yet I find aircraft much more harder to hit during the campaign and in multi play
