Beery,
I've played through a number of campaigns in 1.5 years and I've lost count of how many DC attacks there have been. I've read a fair number of decent books and some "hollywood" garbage too. I have an MA in history and am probably qualified enough to know the difference most of the time.
I'll conceed that it was not a rare thing to escape an attack quickly and without damage. But attacks that did last hours and create damage were not uncommon either. In the game they hardly ever happen. It is significant that we never have to worry about battery charge or co2 and air supply.
So I've experinecd probaby hundreds of DC attacks and NEVER worried about my air supply?!
Even playing into mid-1944 this is one of the least challenging sim's I've experience. To challenge yourself you need to focus on racking up huge tonnage scores and/or taking silly risks. Somthing is not right and I'm simply suggesting that a more detailed and complex damage model would create more realistic encounters.
