Has anyone had any success with this? How long does it usually take for the glamour boys in the Luftwaffe to turn up?
Thanks for any replies.

Going through this experience now, as a matter of fact. Well, then, that is April of 1940.
Moving north in the North Sea in a VIIB became verrry nerve wracking as air traffic was especially thick. But HEY, it's the Luftwaffe! I had to call off my gunner as the software doesn't distinguish between aerial friend and foe. What looked like three Junkers led me to some traffic. I bagged two small merchants, then surfaced to steal credit for a Large Merchant that had been strafed and bombed. Sank that one with just nine shells. Love those flyboys.
But now I'm hiding in a northern estuary after sending off a successful Contact Report, then sinking a Tribal. Lots of opportunities, but the Tribal had a mate. The starshells and searchlights are urgent. I expect the Luftwaffe after the storm overhead clears. No rain, but lightning and low ceiling.
I won't spoil it for you, only I will suggest you get involved with the Norway operation. Plenty of opportunities for force interaction. I forget to mention the two German Commerce Raiders I encountered coming up here. Brave lads.
