id say when it hits the red mark. i think the yellow mark is just there to warn you that it would be best to surface asap

Where are the Bloody Planes???

I know where...

Their in the bloody mediterranean! First patrol, and ive alrady come to the conclusion its better to stay surfaced during the day, and submerged at night :damn:

i thought that would be the other way around Ducimus??????

I think he means that being surfaced by day you have earlier warning than when they come at you at night...;)

That makes alot more sense, cause during the day time you can see the planes before they r on time of u, but at night its very hard to spot planes until they turn the lights on and bomb u

In GWX I don't mess with airplanes--Alaaarm and down we go. Been attacked by Hurricanes, Spifires, Ansons, PBYs. Haven't seen Swordfish. Was attacked once by 8 4engine seaplanes. You would have thought I was a floating Berlin.

Thank you very much, I avoid airplanes. :roll:

i do too
but they always seem to find me in the bay of biscay:-? :rotfl:
seems like they have got a new U-508 finder installed:rotfl:

GWX = dive to avoid planes unless you're feeling lucky. :roll:

exactly. You can't see the buggers at night until its too late.

Unless you're feeling suicidal, you mean... :huh:

(I run GWX and SH3 Commander, no other mods). I save my flak gun ammo for trawlers. Sometimes for amusement on cargo ships. Never for planes. The only things I do when I spot a plane are:

1) Scream "Alaaaaarm!" in my worst fake German accent;
2) Hit the "C" key for crash dive;
3) Wait until submerged then knuckle to port;
4) Occasionally pop the hull on the bottom when I forget that I'm in less than 70m of water. (Then load Bernard into a vacant torpedo tube for "his" incompetence.)

I barely passed the flak gun Academy mission - I had problems taking out those ridiculous biplanes. No way I'm taking on a pair of Hurricanes.

My IXB is beautiful - truly beautiful. No holes in the IXB, thank you very much.

worst thing is when you spot a convoy and you head in their direction you get fairly close to them on the surface but then have to dive coz you get "airplane spotted" and cant catch up with the convoy. then coz the planes have seen you all the damn dd`s come over to investigate.
