Just a guess.

Oh heck.

If you're in the med... that place is plane heaven - for the planes!

Chances are your most frequent encounters would be off Malta, just because of its central location, but there's everything from bases in North Africa to Gibraltar to carriers in task forces. There's a reason the original SHIII map doesn't have any "1943" air cover circles in the med - after 1943, there's nowhere you can hide in that lake

Nah, I was outside of St. Naz when I started getting pounded by aircraft. I have no idea where they came from.

Just outside St Nazaire is not too far for the RAF to hit you from England in late '43 Both Spits and Hurricanes had their ranges almost doubled byt that time compared to BoB ranges.

After '42 the Bay starts to become somewhere that you keep your profile low and ready to dive if you have to be at the surface or else just cross it submerged until you run out of batteries and have to surface.

I think they bugged his shoes because those planes know exactly where I am at all times. Doing 2 knots in the middle of the Atlantic? They're there. Resting on the bottom of the ocean under a sheet of ice? They'll send a ship out to cut a hole in the ice so they can bomb me.

That story that my mom used to tell me about two RAF officers busting into the maternity ward with pistols on the day I was born makes so much more sense now...
