So what shall we do about the Aircraft ? :)

Since they dont attack and just fly straight over you...

I loved the tension of having to crash dive when I picked up incoming aircrft in SH3.

Would be fantastic to be able to get this again in SH5. Would it be difficult to do ?

Planes are too much trouble to deal with.
I'm glad they don't attack.

Really ? wouldn't you prefer realism?

Anyway... How hard are AI tweaks then?

Realism? How about no savegames :P
I did have 1 out of 10 spotted airplanes attack me though, it turned around and dropped 2 depth charges at me

Better than nothing!
But yeah, at least half of them should attack. But who knows, maby they are on their way to another important mission, and just relay your position to their HQ instead? :P

All of the planes I have seen have been Hurricanes. I wouldn't expect ASW on them, at least in 39/40. I would expect them to strafe at least though.

They are probably just recon and radioing you in.

I have to say I prefered the planes in SH3 because they actually attacked you. Since SHV is supposed to be more immersive its a little strange they don't attack. It did take me about 2 days to figure this out though, just thought my crash dives were effective, that is until one flew right over my head!!

That would be my guess too...and if so, then it's something the devs got right.

Hurricanes undertaking ASW was one thing that really annoyed me with SH3.

A Hurricat, on the other hand, would be welcome....from Q2 1941 at least.
