The only problem with the plane is that it was in the middle of the night.

So, mines can't hit surfaced ships (that's kinda odd, unless the ones depicted are dedicated ASW mines)? There was no "we're under attack" message at all, which is what I usually see if I'm too careless with time compression in the presence of enemy shipping (setting up an attack). Just the spinning camera and with a sub in the middle of nowhere with water pouring off the sides (no landmass or sandbank). The CO2 bug wasn't in-effect.

I suppose I could have bumped into a coastal vessel, DD, or something and since time compression was up high (a simple gunboat is armed well enough to hole a sub quickly), there was no time for a "we're under attack message" (never seen it happen before, but that doesn't mean much).
