Pesky bombers in '42
I'm using stock SHIII in mid-'42 and I first got bounced by bombers well out in the Atlantic. I've played up to late '43 before without things getting too crazy, but on this patrol, each and every time I surface, the bombers are on me within an hour, sometimes in minutes. I made it to my patrol station and just sat motionless until oxygen was almost gone. After a short surface run only to recharge air, I stayed under for as long a stretch as I could.
Bombers every time I surface. I can't get enough battery charge. I keep changing headings, but they're always there. The weather, for once, won't get worse than 15m and light fog.
I don't bother surfacing at night, because they find me just as quickly, but my spotters don't see them until too late.
Is this normal? What do you do?
