Historical Accuracy in SH3

No. I said historical, not hysterical. I always knew that major
events like countries falling changed the bases but never knew
just how far the game took other lesser events dealing with
aircraft & shipping. In all my patrols, coming within 200 km from
an enemy base in good weather (daylight) meant I would see
patroling aircraft (always). Well, for the last 2 days, I am well
within 100 km of Scapa Flow (partly cloudy, calm seas & daylight)
but have not seen plane 1 ??? I have also not had any ship
contacts for the last 36 hours running north & east of SF ???
Can't understand it, NEVER happened before, so I went into my
WW2 day by day history book and looked up the May 27 & 28.
1940 events. And I found "DUNKIRK" Most all ships & planes
have been dirverted to "Operation Dynamo". Could the game
be reflecting this event ??? If I were down in AN79 or AN87.
would I see dozens of ships & aircraft ??? I would like to think
this was the case & not just random coincidence. Anyone have
any thoughts or experiences along those lines ???
