Spontaneous combustion

[PatAWilson]

I am playing a campaign, Flotilla I, June 1940, IUB is the only patch, 100% realism. When I am chugging along in time compression I suddenly find my sub damaged or sunk. This happens near the English coast. I can speculate that I am being attacked by aircraft but there is no warning and after the attack no aircraft is visible (already gone?).

Can somebody tell me why I am getting attacked while in time compression and what I can do about it (no wise comments about don't use TC - play time is limited and I need to get to the good parts :))

Thanks all.

Mine:

1. A tunnel dug under an enemy emplacement to destroy it by explosives, cause it to collapse, or gain access to it for an attack.

2. An explosive device used to destroy enemy personnel, shipping, fortifications, or equipment, often placed in a concealed position and designed to be detonated by contact, proximity, or a time fuse.

:D

Yup, your cruising around all happy and stuff and then flooding in all compartments and men running around with their hair on fire. Been there done that. You got to be careful around the coast.

Ah, that would be it. nice of the higher ups to assign me AN79 as a patrol area then!

Any tips on avoidance or is it just "don't go there" (now that I know what it is I'll do a search :)).
