New here. just wanted to add that while I`m always glad to take down an attacking enemy plane it does indeed appear too easy to shoot them down. I used to always instantly dive in fear when one appears, but after my first couple of easy shot downs I don`t even worry about it. They often don`t survive the first pass. This can`t be right.

I always had the impression that every submariner dived first, fought later. japanese planes were fragile compared to Allied planes, but even with an F4F shooting them it took close range 150m or less of fire into a zero or bomber to break it up, set it alight.

A sub is not a fighter shooting from 150 metres. such shoot downs should be much rarer. When an aircraft is that close to a sub it`s only for a fraction of the time as it passes by.

Thanks for the mod. Hope it does the trick.
