Has anyone been attacked by aircraft yet ?

I've been overflown by pairs of what look like fighters, but never attacked. Someone mentioned them radioing in your position, but I've yet to see DDs vector in on my position.

I have never been attacked. But I have seen many planes. Usually I can hear them but cannot find them.. I can see them on the map display sometimes there is a pair of them, sometimes only one. I usually go to periscope depth anyway.

Last night though a plane flew over me, way outside range of bristish airfields I was like WTF? This time I found it though. I zoomed in on it and it was a Bi Plane! It looked like one of those biplanes that are launched from a Cruiser or battleship... But I think it must of been from a carrier in the area.

Kinda neat... By the way I tried to find my boat from his view and could not find me. I did order dive to periscope depth though, so I probly was under water too much at that point.

I do not have the game but my guess is that the reasons for non-attacking aircrafts are the same as in SH3 and SH4 and were as well carried by devs to SH5. Those are fairly easy to correct as I have introduced/done for SH3 with dummy bombs and angle of fire for guns on aircrafts.

I also never was able to spot one....but always there was low 3d-clouds and bad weather....

...maybe they stay over the clouds because not want ride the turbulences...

I have seen them at night too.. Which in 39 is a no no.

I have seen 2 planes so far.Neither even tried to attack me.

They flew right past me as well.If he did not see me,I have no clue what he was doing

Yeah, first patrols around England and aircraft constantly overhead and constantly ignore me. I hope some one can mod aircraft so they become a threat as they were in SH3...

If someone wants to mod the planes to be a threat then PLEASE mod them to fly moreso during the day then at night....

I spend daylight on the surface and submerge in the darkness off the British Isles.

the problem you all seem to have is that in 1939 most the coastal air patrol are Hurricane Mk 1's, Hurricanes were not fitted with bombs till the Mk 2b revision.

if you check the nav map, it'll show that bombers and other anti-shipping aircraft are stationed near the gibraltar strait.

later on in the campaign will anti-shipping aircraft populate the airfields around england.

Cool, the first spotting I went running and dived as soon as I could (old reaction from SH4) but the next time I didn't panic.
