My observations for now. I was attacked by two Spitfires and I deliberately did not dive and shoot the Flak. The planes only shot at me with machine guns and did not drop bombs. And I let them fly repeatedly. Unfortunately, an escort ship was approaching, so I managed to shoot them down and had to sink.
I was spotted by an Anson patrol plane and again I didn't sink at the start of the attack.and ordered full throttle and zigzagging. If I zigzagged the plane still attacked only through the machine gun. When I finally sank the plane started to fly away. Anson spotted me again and attacked again. now I wasn't meandering anymore and the plane dropped the bombs and I have to say, not bad. I'm undamaged, but the bombs didn't land badly at all. Then the plane took off.
I'll still be hanging around England and reporting back.   |
Thanks
I didn't make a test with Spitfire yet, will add this to my list. Plane characteristics (speed, stall speed, turn radius etc.) might play a part in why planes do or don't drop bombs. This, and zigzagging - from what you write it might also cause planes to get stuck in a dry run loop.
