I agree with both of the posts above...in all my reading US Subs only engaged an aircraft as a last resort.
My Father In Law was a Marine Raider during the war, at one point he was wounded
and spent a few months aboard a hospital ship, after being cleared for duty his unit was some distance away so until they caught up he was assigned to AA duty on a
20mm cannon, he had occasion to fire at several Jap planes (yes they did attack hospital ships, bastiges) he even downed two Zeke's, he exploded one at close range
with a short burst from the gun and the other he hit many times before it finaly crashed into the water not more than a few yards from the ship, riddled with holes.
Obviously it depends where the plane is hit on how quickly it will be destroyed.
In game terms it's just to easy, maybe the guns are to powerful, but I decided that just upping the hp of the planes would help.
This mod may not even work as well as I intended - they may well still be to easy to down, but it's a start.
As a side note "Pop" as we call him was once deployed from a Gato class sub, he can't remember the subs number unfortunatly.
Cheers
