Not much to tell. Crash dove as usual and for once the plane's ordnance hit me.
99.9% of the time they can't hit the broadside of a barn, not even close.
I long ago shortened the radar warning receiver's ranges to make them a little more interesting, get them to see me and at least drop ordnance.

Otherwise at non-edited receiver ranges they're pretty much zero threat and don't even do that.

Except for a relatively short time period in 1943, those German radar detectors were completely useless, because Allies changed radar wave-lenght pretty soon. So radar detectors shouldn't be of any help in SH3 anyway.

Right, plus some commanders never trusted them and so didn't use them anyway.

Yesterday for first time:
October 1942, got depth charged by aircraft and … lost both my rudders!!
Plus 6 crew death… not to say it was the end of my career
