I think it would be near suicidal to attack in this situation. There's too much risk to boat and crew to attempt an attack. I have never engaged aircraft, but tend to hide from them. I am there to win the tonnage war, not engage the British air force. Goering's boys can take that job.

Unfortunately air-aid was under this circumference probability rare, in 1943

Refer to:Goering's boys can take that job..

Unfortunately for the u-boat crews, this was very true, especially after the Battle of Britain. What I meant with that statement was that u-boats should not engage aircraft. They just weren't up to the job.

If it was planes alone, crashdive!

The destroyers make it a bit more interesting though. Flank and dive until I'm under about 10m, hit silent running, go deep and pray the planes didn't see me.

Never mind the guys that went in for the attack, it's the poor soul who decided to man the deck and flak guns we should be saying a prayer for!!

If there is only planes then I stay up and fight it out, good fun shooting down planes


Come to think of it, I have shelled a crippled Rodney to the point where it eventual gave up. The fact is main guns where still working made it fun but 99/100 times it will be suicide
