I always try to dive when getting near enemy waters during the day and stay down until night. Still, it's amazing how many times the aircraft attack THE MOMENT we rig out of red, and too quick for me to be able to cut time compression. They love to attack at dawn AND dusk.

Ho hum.

I haven't been sunk yet (July 1942 right now, USS Drum), but my previous boat was hit in an air raid and massively damaged. Engines out, flooding etc. I almost didn't make it back and until I got out of japanese air territory, I kept getting under attack, diving to avoid them, but the boat kept sinking on me and I seemed to have no electric engines (even though they were just fine on the DC panel). Got though it, but I don't know how.

I fear those planes more than I fear the destroyers, I tell ya.
