the only plane i ever shot down myselve was.... did i shot one ? :hmm:

i know i have shot some on fire.... but never shot one down.
that i leave to my gunner :yep:

Whenever I hear "Flugzeug gesichtet!" it is always followed by "Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!..............ALLLLLAAAARRRRM!!!" :D

Or maybe it's because the game makes it far easier than it was in real life. The real U-Flak boats were a dismal failure:

I only take aircraft on once I got twin AA guns and only if I must.

Since I installed GWX 1.03 1 week after release , I shot down (3!) planes in total. 2 Swordfish and 1 Anson if I remember it right.
Not necessary to say that I tried many more... but I learned the hard way the meaning of

DIVE!!!!!
:ahoy:

IRL the odds were heavily stacked in favour of the aircraft.
Usually the best the Uboat could hope to achieve was to keep the aircraft at arms length until the sub got the chance to dive.
Often, the aircraft would call in assistance from surface or other airborne assets.
Remember, once the pressure hull was pierced, the sub was no longer capable of diving.
Over 250 Uboats were lost to aircraft during the war.

I have a near 100% success rate with the flak gun...........against small boats/ships that is!:p Only if I run out of ammo does the ship not sink. Aircraft I never bother with. Alarrrmmmm! Crash dive!
