Funniest dogfight I've see was in the Med when I observed a Stuka being persued and finally shot down by a Sunderland that was pretty nimble and doing some very interesting manovuring to follow the Stuka!

Never seen this, but would sure like to, I nearly always forget to send reports, I remember when it's too late!

"Dogfights" were even in stock game, but during limitations of an engine not very realistic.
I wonder why German aviation strikes so often around British Isles? Every time (if not every, than VERY often), I am sinking a ship (or spotting convoy) in Western Approaches or near Cardiff, there are 4-5 Ju-88 or even FW-200 in the air. I believe british aicrafts should arrive first. It's 1941. If german u-boats have so strong air support in reality... But I learned from Doenitz book, that there were a lack of recon and other aviation for the navy. This also is not good, 'cause, for example, one Junkers throw a bomb near my boat, and other began to attack him (!). If there will be more rare axis air-strikes.. And more often Allied air support... It will be better IMO. Maybe it's possible "to call" british fighters when german bombers approach?

The one air engagement I'm really looking forward to seeing is that of a Condor being shot down by an Allied fighter

The only German planes I encounter, show up around home bases somehow.

I wish they would lend me a hand to clear some pesty Engländer of my tail now and then!

Hi, welcome to Subsim.

Try patrolling the Black Sea or Med.

There's plenty of friendly planes about and they will even respond when you send a contact report.

Hmm, been around Englands coast for a while now. I did not encounter any German aircraft yet but then I don't actually look for them. Usually, when I see any aircraft we dive. Is there a fast way to identify them as friendly?
