After weeks and weeks of isolation, I actually appreciate their intervention as it helps assure me (immersion wise) that I'm not a one man band fighting the war all by my lonesome.

the only time I've since them turn up is when I was in the Black Sea. They sank a merchant I was on my way to intercept. they may as well not exist for all I have seen of them

They can be viewed at times as being every bit of a conundrum I agree.

I've only seen the Luftwaffe outside of a harbor once, and that was somewhere in the English Channel. I was being harassed by a destroyer, and a Stuka swooped down and blew off most of their deck. Before I could finish it off (the guns were all blown off), another Stuka completed the task.

I've only seen them in action once. Sick of patrolling, I snuck into Plymouth harbour. Having a look around with the periscope, I noticed a Luftwaffe formation approaching the port! I decided to sit back and watch the fireworks. Maybe they would even sink the destroyer anchored there so I could lay waste to the several merchants docked.

They swooped in, attacked and sank two fishing boats then returned, victorious, to France.

I hope someone gave them a medal for that.

I cut the (ragged-edged!) bottom from a can of beans and hung it on their necks with razor wire. Damn flyboys.

Especially so for sinking two fishing boats!

Gotta keep the little fishes safe!

For all of the Luftwaffe's failings, they always stayed true to their goal of helping to make Europe more environmentally friendly.
