Attacked by Swordfish!?

Attacked by "stringbags" twice within an hour! About 50km southeast of Scapa Flow. April 1940...They succeded in damaging me pretty good! :(

Weather is terrible....15m/s winds and thunder and lighting.....waves are so high that my crew is submerged half the time...certainly not flying weather :nope: :stare: let alone do any damage....

I did not think in this horrible weather that I would be attacked by aircraft...especially the Swordfish..... :doh: :huh: :o

Are aircraft effected by the weather?

Have SHIII commander, btty fix, hollywood's damage mod, NYGM crew management mod,

Can't see how in 1940, in a gale, that a swordfish, could damage me...17% hull integrity....no way! :nope: :down:

In reality, a swordfish-stringbag could not even get off the ground in a gale.... :roll: :huh:

Maybe in 1944- a catalina or a liberator..maybe.
