A must have mod. I made my own version using the same source from Beery and Real Fleet Boat.
I doubled the odds you get reported if seen and doubled the odds that the report will generate an actual air attack. Result? More realistic gameplay. It's just logical to assume that if your sub is detected by any jap with a radio that the japs are very interested in dealing with the threat. I now often see some heavy bombing going on where i "was" a few minutes ago when especially more than one ship is involved. I'm thinking each ship reports in by radio. I'll do some more study. Attacking a convoy by day should just about guarantee enemy aircraft are inbound if they spot the persiscope, ...which often happens since they very often fire at it.
To much standard air patrol aircraft really does get frustratingly unrealistic. While more aircraft responses to actual soghtings of your sub adds great realism.
