Has anyone ever managed to actually get assistance?,as I know I have'nt,I don't even think I have seen the Luftwaffe ONCE in my campaign  
*bloody Goerring,all wind and piss* |
I have seen Herman's fluffy booted flyboys when near enough to a Luftwaffe base for them to get of their backsides and come and assist.
I'm playing mid 1941 right now and I just play realistically in that when a u-boat spotted a convoy they reported it. I dream of having other boats converge on the scene to wreak havoc on the convoy, but in SHIII it is still only a dream.
