Ahoy, fellow aquanauts ;)
I have noticed something strange happening with the RAF lately. It seems, that all other planes are fighting the great Battle of Britain, cause all I ever see are Hurricanes! Hurricanes for breakfast, Hurricanes for lunch, Hurricanes for dinner... It's already September of 1941 and I've never seen any other plane yet (if not to count Ju-87's and Ju-88's stealing my best prey). As I remember my first campaign with v1.0 of the game, at this time there should be at least some Sunderlands in the air. Is the timeline of aircraft appearance altered in the v1.4, or is my game somehow corrupted? It's vanilla v1.4.
I'm not complaining that much, as the Hurricanes are really lame - they simply fly forth and back and after some time just drop their single bomb, missing in 99% of the time. And, what's really stupid, they never use their 20mm cannons. They surely should've - those runs back and forth simply points, that they were supposed to fire at me, but having fixed barrels they just cannot aim, as every other plane with turrets does. Instead of being fearsome fighters ther'e just little, pesky flies, quite hard to shoot down, due to their high velocities. Especially 'cause the v1.4 seems to give me flakgunners with astigmatism. I've even doubled the ammo quantity for flaks to keep those Hurricanes away from me. I do not consider it as a cheat, rather... erm... a necessary countermeasure ;)
