I am no rookie and I like it tough. In fact I changed all my escorts to 3 and 4 in the RND file from day one. But, I have tried a few missions with a 1943 campaign and the aircraft seem to be a little too good. After having learned to dive as soon as an air contact report comes in it does not seem to matter. If there is an AC report and I dive as fast as possible I am still sunk. Since the report comes from picking up a radar signal I would think that is way before any sighting and at 3 miles per minute (200MPH) it would take at least five minutes for the planes to arrive and I am being sunk in the middle of the dive. That does not sound right to me as that is much less than one minute from contact of a radar signal to destruction.
What have you found for AC in 43 or 44? Is it completely impossible or am I missing something?
