Funny how things work.
I am running GW 1.1 and am on my second patrol in late 1939. On both patrols I am getting plenty of aircraft contacts in AM and NE of there.
I run at 512 TC (16k vis mod)now because it reportedly improves your crews ability to spot aircraft...something about the detection routine that I read about in another post.
In 1 1/2 patrols I have been attacked by aircraft 5 or 6 times. One spotted at "long range", 2 at "medium range" (no attacks from any after crash dive), one or two "close range" spottings that dropped after/during my dive (no damage), all were at 512 TC, and the last...I was at a dead stop on the surface waiting for a single ship to sink (at 1x TC), light fog and overcast, when I was surprised by a Sea Hurricane that luckily made a bad drop and only caused very minor damage. I was on the bridge at the time and actually heard the aircraft engine about 3 seconds before the attack. I was wondering what the noise was...next time I'll know better!
What TC are you guys patrolling at when you have no aircraft attacks?
