I am running GWX 1.02 with SH3 set to pause when there is an air attack to buy me some more time. It works OK with the big slow planes but the fast planes still nick you. The Bay of Biscay does seem light in air traffic but go north to Iceland and you will find dozens of air attacks both day and night. The night ones are big two and four engine monsters with radar arrays on their fuselage. The four engine ones drop depth charges based on where their radar detected you last. This is July 1942 and I have had six air attacks in the last 36 hrs. I even vary my resurfacing times and they still find me. If I had let my batteries run low I would be up the creek without a paddle. I am just hoping to make it back to Bergen in one piece and that is the last time I patrol AE84. The other thing I notice in GWX 1.02 is all the air patrols have multiple planes 2 or 3 so jousting with a flak gun seems out of the question.
