Although it’s not possible 100%, I try not to use the information the camera gives me to formulate or to improve my attack—that would be cheating.
Of course - we trust you implicitly.

I'm running two campaigns, and I've left the external view enabled on one. I rather like watching enemy bombers attacking the spot where I was, and not where I am. I also like switching to an attacking aircraft when, in a fit of bravado, madness or both, I've decided to let my experienced flak gunner and officer shoot down a couple or so using the twin-barrelled 2cm Flakzwilling. That weapon is a highly recommended upgrade. "Shooting it out" was, for a while, an official Dönitz policy, it seems. Hmmmm.

Incidentally, how do enemy bombers know which precise bit of anonymous, all-looks-the-same sea surface to return to after their quarry has submerged? Do they have primitive GPS, or a homing instinct like pidgeons? In RL of course, larger aircraft might drop marker dye, but not early in the war, methinks.
