Default GWX enemy aircraft... WOW.

I am currently playing a GWX campaign and I am totally amazed at how agressive the enemy aircaft are now!

Having no snorkel yet, I was cruising on the surface during a GWX campaign patrol in 1943, and I started detecting radar signals and decided to wait and see which it was- an enemy aircraft or destroyer escort. After identifying the aircaft visually- it was 2 Marlets I think, I did a crash dive and later heard some bombs explode farther away (totally missed me). I waited about 20 minutes game time and then surfaced again. Suddenly, I started detecting radar signals again. I waited and again visually identified the aircraft as single Catalina. It dove on me and dropped it's bombs (missed). Then the Catalina continued circling while followinging me.. and would not leave. Wow! I dove again to find safety in the depths. Every time I surfaced later, an enemy aircraft would be close by, searching the area for me. This happened to me about 4 or 5 times in a row. It seems the aircraft attacking me were sending radio messages back to base or other planes in the area and reporting my position. Later, more and aircraft kept showing up, searching the area for me. I was really impressed by this. Really adds to the realism.

Also. on another GWX campaign patrol, I was attacking an enemy convoy. I was jumped by an enemy destroyer escort. I stayed at periscope depth while trying to evade the hunter. About 15 minutes later, a Catalina aircraft showed up over the convoy, circling and searching for me. Aparently, the enemy escort had radioed the aircraft my position.

Those enemy aircraft just won't give up! Really great job GWX team.
