GWX 2.0

Have some questions about GWX 2.0. 1) Do German airplanes attack convoys? 2) Are there any dog fights with the airplanes ?

1) Yes. Sometimes this happens after you send a contact report.

2) I have observed aircraft on opposing sides shooting at and chasing each other in testing. Though we will not purposefully script any 'dogfights.'

Funniest dogfight I've see was in the Med when I observed a Stuka being persued and finally shot down by a Sunderland that was pretty nimble and doing some very interesting manovuring to follow the Stuka!

Never seen this, but would sure like to, I nearly always forget to send reports, I remember when it's too late!

"Dogfights" were even in stock game, but during limitations of an engine not very realistic.
I wonder why German aviation strikes so often around British Isles? Every time (if not every, than VERY often), I am sinking a ship (or spotting convoy) in Western Approaches or near Cardiff, there are 4-5 Ju-88 or even FW-200 in the air. I believe british aicrafts should arrive first. It's 1941. If german u-boats have so strong air support in reality... But I learned from Doenitz book, that there were a lack of recon and other aviation for the navy. This also is not good, 'cause, for example, one Junkers throw a bomb near my boat, and other began to attack him (!). If there will be more rare axis air-strikes.. And more often Allied air support... It will be better IMO. Maybe it's possible "to call" british fighters when german bombers approach?

Once on patrol I was caught on the surface by an attacking aircraft. To my surprise another aircraft showed up and downed the attacking aircraft in a great explosion and ball of fire,
