How good are you with the flak gun?

I'm too busy diving to learn how good or bad my flack crew is.

Me too, early in the war if it's one plane, I'll let my flak gunner try. But two or more planes, it's crash dive!!!!!!

I'm reading Michael Gannon's Operation Drumbeat (which I highly recommend, BTW). He quotes from an "admonition" message (no date given) from BdU concerning the appropriate response of a U-boat to a surprise attack by aircraft.

"For the boat to dive safely in an aircraft situation, the plane must be at least 8,000 meters distant. If in doubt remain surfaced. During a recent surprise attack on a group of three U-boats, one boat made the mistake of submerging, It was bombed while diving and lost. The surface defense of the others was successful. Moral: When surprised stay above and shoot. Diving is death."
