Where are the Bloody Planes???
 

So im playing TGW1.1 with SH3 Commander and im going to be starting my 8th patrol soon. I have one concern, where are the planes in this game. Since i dont get many chances to play SH3 i use TC around 128. For a long time before this current career i maxed out on TC and was cruising. But i read that if u lower ur TC then ur more likely to spot ships and aircraft. Now going about 128 for TC im running into ships and convoys a lot more which is great. But i want to spot some planes and get some real excitment. Now i know in reallife having a plane over heard especially an enemy plane would cause panic and chaos. So Im asking u guys wat should i do to solve this problem?

tc 128 is fine . if you want aircraft go between scotland and north of scapa.
and yes using high tc means you will miss loads

Go to the Med, they'll sort you out good over there...:dead:

in an earlier career i was going to attack the Port of Alexandria in the Med and was spotted by a Hurricane. So i took it out with my AA guns, then another Hurricane came, took that out, then one of those Search and Rescue planes with the DPs on it came and almost took me out, then awhole bunch of DDs and Flowers came in to finish me off. I was going about 536 TC when the first Hurricane was reported, must have been lucky.:hmm::hmm:

I got one career in about Oct43 and those Allied planes are every where. My crew have just got time to put the rubbish out and have a good fart before we crash dive fyet a again.

i personally wouldnt dream of going looking for planes theyre a nightmare.

true:up:

Met a lot of biplane around scotland / scapa flow in 1939/1940 recently. Always by patrol of 2... sometime a second patrol join the first just few minutes after...
going deep... real deep ^^

Planes are much more frequent in GWX. Damn you, flyboys!

Now i just watched a show about the Bismark and how WW1 technology sunk it, The Bi-Plane. those Bi-Planes were armed with Torpodes. But are the SH3 Bi-Planes armed with Torpodes or bombs?

well i been attacked by the lot of em.....hurricanes, swordfish. even got level bombed by some twin engined bomber not sure of the name

So far have seen only bombs, but i believe i read somewhere that a torp mod is being worked on , or has already been completed... maybe even GWX patch 1.02?

In the air.:roll:

Honestly, Maby your not far enough in the war.

I am quite happy personnally when I don't see planes, except when they are from our side and bomb the DDs chasing me...:D
