Holy airplane, Batman!

That's what I'm doing in my S boat - crash dive and make a hard turn into the plane, unless he's coming straight from behind and then I flip a coin. So far (it's still December '41) I've spotted 5 planes and been attacked 4 times. It sounds like they've come close but the gang's all still here.

Thats odd, I was stationary on the surface (stupid GQ I forgot to turn off) and he missed me by 50ft. When I'm firing my 4 20mm and 1 40mm cannon they dive near vertical on me and still miss.

Even though it may work, it's a hell of a chance to take.

Just had an incident where I spotted a plane, did my usual dive tactics and waited for the bangs. To my surprise there were three which seemed odd since so far they've only dropped two bombs. Letting curiosity get the better of me I went back up to periscope and took a look. There was a patch of sea on fire and a tall pillar of black smoke. I guess he came down too far and couldn't pull up in time. Now, I wonder if I'll get credit for shooting it down? Nah!

No, but the satisfaction is priceless.

Try finding some I-400 mod. Then you can chase enemy planes with your own Seiran plane and stop bothering with those useless flak guns!
