Help!

Can anybody help a fellow IXC Kapitan? I've made a very dumb mistake on my long patrol down to the Cape. Foolishly once I crossed the Equator I thought I would head for a lone island (middle of FM grid) which looked harmless enough and it turns out to be THE main Yank airbase in the whole of the bloody south Atlantic!!

I'm playing the new LRT 1.32 mod and as you probably know airpower has been made far more deadly now as I'm increasingly finding out. The weather is ****e so I can't use my AA guns even if I wanted to, and I have survived 3 depth charge attacks but my sub has been badly damaged in the aft section (1 prop destroyed, 1 badly damaged) which has seriously inhibited my forward momentum (can only achieve 1 kt).

So fellow kaleuns what to do? Everytime I surface to get much needed air the bastards are waiting for me above. I could possibly reload my savegame on the Equator and bypass this deadly area but I like to play DiD so that is a last resort. Ideas??? :hmm:

Also is it historically correct to have aircover in this region at this time (Oct '42)?
