My Worst SH3 Moment

Welcome to hell.
There, you have learned a valuable lesson: Don't mess with planes in GWX.
And one more thing: Why did you surface a XXI?

They've put a snorkel in this thing precisely for you keep the boat submerged...

IF you want to take on planes its best to let the AI do the shooting for you, hitting planes (by yourself) is tenfold harder in GWX than vanilla. The AI flak gunner can be really good at times and knock planes down when they're still 1000m out. Swordfish are pretty safe to tackle, just need to maneuver away from their bombing run and the gunner will usually dispatch them pretty quickly (also if you keep finding yourself harassed by swordfish that means there's a flat top nearby that is ripe for the picking), most of the long range recon planes go down with a moderate amount of difficulty.

Only reason that should require you to surface in a XXI is if your attack periscope gets damaged, everything else can be accomplished with the snorkel up (unless that's damaged too).

Only time I take on planes are if they're Swordfish or if I'm running WSM3.0, lol.
They're too dangerous and you're never safe...

Trying to work out what he is complaining about.

Looks to me that the game+mods are working 100%.

One of the nice things about it being a game: when you are sunk, it is a lesson. You get to play again and -- and this is key -- it was always your own fault that you were sunk. No other human out there with a better grasp of tactics or who is having a freakishly good day.
