Using GWX and 1.03 with minor mods

I've just started yet another career in sept 1939 (don't blame me, I keep getting killed!).

When sailing around north Scotland, Orkneys and Western Isles I keep getting jumped by MK IIC Hurricanes. Apart from the fact that Mk IIC didn't exist before 1941 (Mk IIC were the first ones with 2 20mm cannons

)
They also appear to have a range of over 5k!!

The Hurricanes in 1939 were Mk I's with 8 .303 browning machine guns usually set to converge at 200-800 yards.

These beasts are knocking seven bells out of my pressure hull at dfistances over 2 kilometres (roughly 2000 yards!). To add insult to injury they also appear at night! Too many carrots?

I mean - fair dos - I don't mind being depthcharged by destroyers, shelled by cruisers or even annoyed by mine sweepers but futuristic aircraft with massive firepower (I think they use cruise missiles!) ??? It's not on!!!
