flack and deck gunners are pro's .... you still have to target your ships and give orders of course .... nice one is MAN THE FLACK GUNS ... then wait and watch as your crew rips them a new one ... almost makes you want to yell " IS that ALL YA got ! " ......

I do that with my IXD2, no mods, no cheats, just some good men and a mighty heavy flak gun with four barrels and 2x twin barrelled flak guns (1943). I tell my gunners to wait for short range, that's when the planes dive for an attack and get owned
While the boat is already at flank speed I time their approach and order the rudder full to a side so my boat is not longitudinally in the path of the planes when they drop their ammo.
The plate shield guard on the flak guns protects the gunners too and it has almost eliminated flak gunner casualties by machine-gun fire. The IXD2 itself is a metallic beast as compared to a fragile VIIC (for w/e reason). Sometimes when it gets hit by heavy gunfire or even some merchant's deck gun, i don't see any damage in any compartments. :hmm:
The slower aircraft usually get roasted before they can drop their bombs. Fun!
However the IXD2 is very detectable by active sonar when there are destroyers looking for you.
