So I really enjoyed reading this thread yesterday and after work decided to play some SH4. I had no plans on getting a dramatic shot (I didn't after all), but I had just received a Balao class and sunk a merchant when the following happened:
I was racing away from the scene of the crime at flank on the surface since I was afraid of local shipping and/or aircraft coming after my sub. Barely out of view of the sunk merchant I got the aircraft spotted message. First time with a Balao and dual AA guns I put my well trained men on them with a Fire at will command. I'm viewing the show externally and am trying to get the 2 bombers in view along with the ship.
They are closing fast and have not yet begun their climb before the drop. Both my AA gunners unload on full auto. First the plane to the right bursts into flame, then the plane on the left. Since they have not yet turned towards the sky to drop their munitions they are literally on a crash course for my boat.
They BOTH virtually side by side, and engulfed in flames, fly less then 50ft over the conning tower of the sub. Literally 2 seconds after they went over and crashed into the sea directly besides the boat I went @#$#!!! That would have been the perfect shot for this thread! Oh well.....next time.
