Constant Air Attacks

[kampf]

I'm having the same problem here. Out of Pearl Harbour patrol to Honshu(start of war), I've been constatly getting hit or having to crash dive to avoid aircraft.What i can't figure out is how they are finding me at night if i send no radio updates . Do Japanese aircraft have radar this early in war to find me in the pitch black? So far this seems pretty unrealistic, unless ofcourse the Japanese are homing in on my radio Playing the CBS radio Mod .

I could be wrong, but I think that running your radar increases the chances of air attack. Even early in the war, they could home in on radio and radar transmissions. If one aircraft locates you, he would most certainly tell his buddies. Try making a drastic course change after the aircraft is out of sight, and run in that direction for a couple hours. This might throw the other aircraft off. I think the message about being out of o2 is a bug. I have gotten it several times right after surfacing, even if I have not been down that long.

By looking at the Airstrike.cfg I don't think the aircraft are dynamic like boats. Their are modifiers that skript them in if certain variables match. hence the reason they always find you, they are scripted in.

I played again and they are still just as bad even with some changes I made to the file. I will try again though see what happens.

That may be so, but I can't figure out how to turn off the radar (or turn it on - it just *is* on)
