I think I have it- I destroyed 4 Short Sunderland search planes using a sonar decoy :rotfl:

I was pursuing a convoy, and playing a lot of cat-and-mouse, trying to overtake them when I had distance, and hiding and lurking away when the escorts detected me. The instant I see 'we have been detected!' show up, I deploy a decoy, crash dive and creep away at 1 knot. Shortly after that, sunderlands show up to drop depth charges on what is actually the decoy.

The sunderlands fly in a formation, but often by the time the second wave shows up the first wave has turned around to make a pass. In a single blown screenshot opportunity, two sunderlands dove toward each other, hit head on and exploded. A third caught on fire from the debris. The same unlucky pilot who was set on fire hit ANOTHER sunderland head-on sending both to the bottom.

I'll have to poke around on my comp, with any luck I managed to take a sceenie of a sunderland sinking with the decoy in the foreground

Too bad you don't get credit for the RAF acting like smacktards in the game.
