I learned a few important things from it,and never gave it a thought to actually call in Luftwaffe support to help me cross the bay.Is this possible in the game?.It would certainly improve morale a bit knowing that the LW are actually doing something useful and providing aerial support against Hurricanes,or whatever else is harrassing us above.So,if I was crossing the bay in the day and suddenly came under fighter attack,I could crank up the speed,fight back,while at the same time call in air support from JU88s,or MEs if they are in the game (I would bloody love to witness a battle like that).I would have to dive though against bombers (guns hardly affecting them at the moment),while quickly making a request for support.Can I quickly target a plane with the binoculars and 'mark' him like that?

Cheers.
