How did I make it home? I should be dead.

You were VERY lucky that you were not sunk - obviously that Black Swan captain got bored of you at went home....

(Nice tip dealing with the hell zone that is Bay of Biscay

- will remeber that one.)

the tip about hugging the coast line is a real life tactic... the radar would have a hard time detecting surfaced u-boats due to the blending in with the shore line ground clutter.

nice job in using that to your advantage though im not sure if it is modeled in the game or not... i guess in a small way it is modded if air patrols dont spawn close to the coast.

Not sure exactly how many charges carry the Black Swans, but had to deal with two of them last night west of Gibraltar after a convoy attack and they sure dropped quite a few... I really don't like them FFs...

Well, it looks like it's implemented, sort of...

They probably see you through those mountains, or more likely, they doesn't see the mountains at all.:rotfl:

You are exactly correct. Aircraft in SH3 have no concept of flying over mountains... so they try to fly through them.
