Underwater plane...

So many planes that I don't bother to submerge. I can shoot them all down with twin 20mm anyway. Almost all miss their bombs and none have crashed on me yet. But something interesting happened today..

I shot down a Kate and it went into the water and came out after 20 meter of going underwater. It then went another 100m or so before it crashed. How's that? :P

Then you must be one lucky SOB.

Battle Stations and Crash Dive is the standard operating procedure on my boat.

The other day I was using my deck gun to finish off a large merchant when a Betty suprised me and ripped a gaping hole in my side. Managed to get him but my patrol was over as I had to limp back to port (with 12 Fish left unfired). I was dreading another air contact because I felt sure if I dived I would have sunk like a stone.

Well I have not even arrived at my patrol area and I have shot down over 10 planes. The only problem is I'm going to run out of AA ammo :P

It happened again by the way, lol. This time I have a screenshot. (they were both Betty's not Kate)

Ah it must of been one of those flying boats the Japs had, they are not very well known.

I love the Bettys. Now two of them attacked and blew themselves up with their bombs. Both went down...

As said you really are a lucky SOB, everytime I try to take something on that's not a Zero and flies, destroyed engines, it's almost unholy the amount of accuracy these planes have against me.
