I still think this way. 
It´s just stupid to be able to shoot down dozens of planes in a single patrol.
Like the little turtle teached: Duck&Cover  |
Absolutely. The real U-Flaks tempted captains to stay up and fight it out, and they died.
The way the game treats aircraft is totally bogus. |
I remember attacking a late war VIIin the Crimea in IL2
I cant remember its armament, but I do remember it not being easy.
If I tryed to strafe it or do a shalow dive bomb on it then I didnt stand much chance.
Acute dive bombing was also difficult as the U-boat is a tiny target to bomb.
Cloud cover makes things harder as it isnt as easy to stay out of the u-boats range.
It is possible to fly at 0* to the uboat and get in its blindspot and level bombing is as easy as pie if you have a large stable plane with a bomb sight.
I am a skilled pilot with plenty of ingame, and some real life experiance, but the U-boat still managed to do serious or critical dammage to my plane in about 1/4 of my attacks and I only scored a hit on the boat around 1/5 times
