My favorite method for taking deck guns out of the picture (besides torpedoes), is to report in the target and wait for the Stukas to remove them for me. Then I can surface and send a few insults of my own their way! I love those guys! :DL

I was presuming that reporting contacts via the radio was more of a formality and actually had no effect on the gameplay. So the Luftwaffe turn up do they? Cool.This is news to me. Good news! I take it you need to be near a German base in order for this to happen?

Yes you do.:yep: I have had them show up when I take the Northern route out from Kiel, and get to the main shipping channel South of Norway.

I've only seen the vaunted Luftwaffe in the Med.

Most of the time, they've been a pain in the butt. Theyve either stolen a kill or caused a ship that I was stalking to start zigging all over the place. :down:

Other than leaving the harbours and giving me the constant 'Aircraft spotted!' messages, I've yet to see them in action. I've only been in the med once though before being lost at sea!

My next career I've decided (up yours BdU!) that I'm heading around Norway instead of the Atlantic so maybe there... :)

If you ever live long enough to be transferred to Bergen in 44, look up to the skies for something circling the port that can't be seen anywhere else :03:

Jim says, of course, the beautiful harbor views,

Fantastic recreation, air and alarm that sounds in the morning so no alarm clock is not needed
