I installed Airpower 1.4 using JGSME, and I noticed something kinda extreme - pairs of PBY Catalinas bombing the bejesus out of my boats....

It's Spring of 1941 and I am playing at/around %65 realism.

So I did a little researching, and according to UBoat.net there were only two subs sunk in 1941 by a/c; I have not gotten around to determining how rare the PBYs were to RAF CC in early '41 yet, but I suspect that there were very few- so far as I can recall, the majority of early RAF CC were 'lash-ups', meaning borrowed a/c from other commands. So I have come to the conclusion that the mod is not true to realism. Ergo I am not using it at the moment. I will take my chances with the equally unrealistic stock SH3 airstrikes for now... at least until it gets equally extreme.

The Hudsons were way more common, it seems, and they are not modded or modeled in vanilla SH3.

In any case, I have disabled the mod until I can figure out how to tweak it myself.

Any suggestions?
