How the luftwaffe could help me...
 
I wish they would fly over the convoy and dump out a hundred or so weighted floating dummy periscopes.

That would give everyone something else to point their searchlights at.

:D

Very nice idea. Could anyone make a 3d-model of a bomb with the form of a peri? Than just change the loadout of some planes in the campaign.mis and we have a little bit fun. :woot:

How about rubber ducks instead ?

Im a bit fed up of sending contact reports and getting no air support! The luftwaffe could help me by dropping a normal bomb nevermind rubber ducks. Preferably on the nearest escort!:/\\!!

Göring, historically, could have greatly enhanced the effectiveness of the U-Boats if he hadn't been so pigheaded about using his precious aircraft.

I do enjoy the rare occasion when I hear AAA fire and through my scope notice some ships getting bombed.

Meh. Just put yourself on the list of other institutions the increasingly threadbare Luftwaffe failed.

Operation Sea Lion
The German Sixth Army in Stalingrad
The Afrika Korps in Tunsia
The rail net in Normandy
Petroleum Production
The Ardennes Offensive
Etc.

This is true. When land, sea and air forces move in close coordination with each other they become something much greater and effective than the sum of its parts. When they don't, you can easily have chaos.
