After weeks and weeks of isolation, I actually appreciate their intervention as it helps assure me (immersion wise) that I'm not a one man band fighting the war all by my lonesome.

the only time I've since them turn up is when I was in the Black Sea. They sank a merchant I was on my way to intercept. they may as well not exist for all I have seen of them

They can be viewed at times as being every bit of a conundrum I agree.

I've only seen the Luftwaffe outside of a harbor once, and that was somewhere in the English Channel. I was being harassed by a destroyer, and a Stuka swooped down and blew off most of their deck. Before I could finish it off (the guns were all blown off), another Stuka completed the task.

I've only seen them in action once. Sick of patrolling, I snuck into Plymouth harbour. Having a look around with the periscope, I noticed a Luftwaffe formation approaching the port! I decided to sit back and watch the fireworks. Maybe they would even sink the destroyer anchored there so I could lay waste to the several merchants docked.

They swooped in, attacked and sank two fishing boats then returned, victorious, to France.

I hope someone gave them a medal for that.
