Is it just me or is anyone else having half the allied aircraft they encounter fly into the ocean? The number of aircraft the RAF and Royal Navy lost around my positon would have wiped out half their avialable sunderlands and locheed hudsons and I only shot down two of the sunderlands. My course to the northern Atlantic is almost a solid grey line of aircraft that flew themselves right into the water. In addition I was sailing along mid Atlantic minding my own business and kept running into Dehaviland Mosquitos and Bristal Beaufighters. The problem is I was 1300 miles from the hearest allied airbase and the max range of a Mosquito with external tanks is only about 1900 miles at a optimum altitude and speed and it is less for the Bristol Beaufighter and Locheed Hudson (I think). This means that every aircraft I saw could not possibly get back to an airbase. COnversely, I saw not catalinas or sunderlands at all which is correct as I was beyound their safe operational range as well. I would have been a tasty morsel for a Liberator however! Is anyone else seeing this or do I just have a squirrely career going here?

Concerned :hmm:
