Anything over 128 IIRC

Have been harassed by more than a few aircraft around the UK
Usually Ansons

What???

Are you saying that as Im traversing the bay of biscay in June of 42 on 1024x I wont see aircraft because they dont show up at high TC???

News to me...

Always been that way

They still show and occasionally you will drop TC with an aircraft right on top of you
Or miss them completely

I thought I had read that this was just a ruse planted by the British. While FuMB did emit a signal, the Brits were never able to reliably track it. The real problem was the introduction of centimetric radar.

(But I suppose as German sub commanders we aren't supposed to know that.)
