Keep in mind that your boat isn't biult to take on aircraft like a DD or a CV, it is an anti ship wepon. Hiding from the flyers and saving the fight for your floating buddies is your best bet.

Snorkel will probably help here. What date does it become available for the IXD2?

Schnorkel will get you killed for sure!! Aircraft radar will locate you and tear you a new vent ... one minute you will be walking around your boat eating a bratwurst on rye and humming to Wagner and the next you will heading to meet Davey Jones with mustard up your nose. I use the snout rarely. I did get slammed once - sprayed my potato soup on the screen. I prefer to keep my flak manned with both watch and flak gunners rated as "gunners".

I agree - I found the snorkel unuseful most of the time, unless you have a snorkel mounted radar detector.

Radar detectors always get you under in time. Snorkels just invite attacks you never see coming.
