Hooray for the Luftwaffe!

So I've started another 1942-career in Bergen, Norway, and received a report about Task Force that's always patrolling the North Sea in my first patrol. I decided to intercept and came across a Hunter-Killer Group of four destroyers.

I managed to sink one and damage one (which disengaged and vanished over the horizon), and as I "cheat" with realism all the way down to 65%, I enjoy the ability to switch to external view whenever I want to.

Now, while being hunted by the British destroyers, I hear plane engines. Aircraft are always cool, but they can't get at me while I'm 100 metres down, so I ignore them.

Now, a few minutes later when I check the external view again, I see two fighter-sized planes close on a destroyer. Bringing the camera closer, I realize they're bombers or patrol aircraft, and bringing the camera even closer, I see that they're painted brown. Then, just as I'm wondering when the Tommies got brown bombers and if this is an inclusion added by Serg's air-attack mod', I notice the black crosses on their wings.

I cheer as the bombers take on the destroyers, even though they do not succeed in taking any of them down. I was fairly close to Norway, so I assume they came out of the newly-built Fedje airfield near Bergen (NorOps hint

).

Luftwaffe all the way!
