Air attacks, are there supposed to be any?

I started a career in 1939 and its now jan 1943, and I have yet to see an enemy airplane. I have the GW mod installed and have planes buzzing around friendly ports, but not a single enemy aircraft in the skies.

Not that I'm really complaining, but something doesn't seem right.

I hear the amout of time compression you use affects this. 256 or lower and the planes will appear. This is what I'm told but have not experience it yet. I was attacked once while on the surface using the cannon. That is about it.....very strange to me too:hmm:

Yes, it seems the planes will not spawn if you are at higher than 256x tc. This meens you`ll probably run into them while you are busy with something else.

Oh, and have a look at the draggable map in GW, it shows areas covered by allied airpower.

Then you'll be very lucky/unlucky if you ever see a plane

Try TC at 128
