Well, my apologies! Recently I upgraded my Type VII to 3 flak towers, one with a quad 20, plus two of the lighter ones. Turned over the guns to the crew and I seriously doubt there is a single flyable Sunderland in Coastal Command (they are in Coastal Command, right?) left in this current campaign.

The amount of firepower these guns put out is pretty amazing. My tactic is just to put the sub into flank speed just as the planes go into their dive and turn the sub into them. Has worked very well. Originally I thought flak boats were dumbass as they didn't work well in WW2 and early in the SH3 campaign the boats just couldn't put out that much firepower to down aircraft. The type XX1 is an excellent flakboat as well.
