After attacking a coastal convoy in a Type II I was attempting to evade and escape when a few JU88 turned up on the scene and started to attack the convoy. Did me a favor as this aided my escape from the escorts and it was also interesting to watch. One of Goring's planes didn't make it home though.

Nice screenshots, Capt. Nemo :rock: I'm curious, did the Ju-88's manage to sink something?

Captain Nemo 07-25-11 06:02 AM

Nope, there were some ships damaged but none were sunk. If I remember I sunk an ore carrier so the convoy didn't get away without loss.

Interestingly a few hours later at dusk I spotted a lone large merchant giving off loads of smoke and down at the bow. I got closer and it had been severely damaged. Unfortunately I had no torpedoes left so couldn't finish it off, but it had obviously been attacked by aircraft earlier on.

I snuck myself into Dover once upon a time, and was about to start sinking tankers... then one of them blew up. Oh, and there were airplanes. I just turned around and left. I don't share well.

Actually that can be a very good test of the 'reporting contacts' function....go to an allied base that has a) at least three ships in it and b) is obviously within combat range of a Luftwaffe base.
