It's a bird! It's a plane!...

... no, it's actually 16 planes and they're heading right for me in shallow water north of Darwin!!! I got bounced by 4 waves of 4 Betty bombers each after pulling into Darwin for rearm/refit. Of course they dove at me like Stukas. Thanks to my two dual-20mm guns and the sharp shooters manning them, we wasted 13 of them, but still ended up with 69% hull damage from a nearby bomb explosion - I'll take 20mm's over 40mm's any day.

The whole thing was unrealistic, but it was fun to watch the fur fly. Needless to say, SD radar only picked up maybe 4 of the contacts. The radar operator didn't declare anymore contacts after the first wave attacked.

If anyone is wondering, I'm using TM 1.7.6, RSRDC Phase III, and NSM 4.
