Where have all the Allied Planes got to?

meduza · 08-14-08, 06:16 PM

I guess they've all went after me.

I'm in the mid '41, patroling west of Gibraltar, and I have to dive like every half an hour because the place is swarming with planes. I don't remember ever seeing so many of them this early.

If you like, I'll send some of them back to you

Let me think about that..............:hmm:

Sure you can, as long as there in pieces.

No problem, mate! Which parts would you prefer: bombs, bullets, or rockets?

March 1942, I got attacked by a SQUADRON of Sunderlands south of Ireland,
counted 5 of them circling after I crash dived all dropping DC's everywhere. Luckily, circling the wrong place.

I guess they were upset about the other Sunderland my gunners shot down earlier that day....
And the Black swan and Clemson destroyer I torpedoed after they arrived on the scene to investigate all that noise.
And the two other Sunderlands and a Hurricane We'd shot down that week....

I wonder how upset they were at me...

It was during my old career, still with stock SH3.

mid41 ? lol u must have seen me cruising around there hunting the trippleconvoys going southafrika-usa-gb. when i dont spot at least 1 convoy a day there i have a bad day. everytime i hit something and its not a nightattack in less then 20 min 1 or 2 pairs of hurricans are showing up and herassing me for 2-3 hrs. I was chased even by swordfishs outside their fighterrange but i couldnt get a fix on the carrier they come from cause im not equipped with radar to track their way back to it.

Aircraft carriers are unable to operate aircraft in the game. They are on the flight deck for purely cosmetic reasons. All the aircraft you encounter will have "spawned" from land bases. Doesn't make sense meetimg Hurricanes 600km from UK in the middle of Biscay though...

Maybe they're British kamikaze!

I agree,west of Gib seems to be crawling with planes.Some time last night I was heading west away from the northern coast of Spain,about 400-500 km from Gib when a huge squadron of at least 10 bombers came up on my rear.The area got heavily blasted to say the least.That was my first taste of what surely is about to come.I swung the boat right round as I descended in their direction,to undercut their bombing run,and I reckon it was that that saved the boat from being totally vapourised,as there was probably at least 10.000kg of explosive dropped!
