Last 24hrs - complete absence of aircraft in bay of biscay,Nov 1st 1942

[Paul Riley]

Nov 1st 1942
Enroute for AL35

During the last 24 hrs of this current patrol we are about 630km west of the French coast,crawling along at no greater than x32tc,expecting imminent air attacks every hour or so,just like during our last patrol,yet there have been no sightings whatsoever,save a couple of fighters that flew overhead earlier on in the bay (about 50km or so from where we started out to sea),followed by bomber formations who attacked the area for about 30mins.That was the last we have seen from them.

Weather conditions are good,with clear skies and no fog.We even managed a surface run during the entire previous night,something which I have refused to do since air attacks became a problem,completely unmolested.Which brings me to the possible conclusion that the allies still dont seem to have fitted radar sets to their planes yet,only their warships,giving me the chance to use the night again for surface runs,except during cloudy days.

Is this a bug in the game,or could it actually represent heavy allied plane losses,and they are trying to gather their strength again?.
Strange,but i'm not complaining,any respite from air attacks is a welcomed one
