GWX Air Attacks

My experience with LSH is that aircraft are mostly harmless anyway. Got caught on the surface in a Type IXD2 off the coast of West Africa by a pair of Liberators. Being overcast it was too late to pull the plug so I manned the flak guns hoping to gain some time to dive safely. Shot down one bomber after being straddled by four depth charges with no damage. Decided to fight it out and shot down the second after it missed with another four DC. Total 55-rounds of 37mm all fired under AI control for two B-24s. For some reason the twin 20mm never fired a shot.

For fun I decided to continue to fight it out on the surface so now have five Liberators to my credit and my U-199 is officially an Ace. And all of this in May 1943. And the twin twenties still never shoot anything automatically.

Try that in GWX3... But there at least all of the guns work.

By the way, since when did B-24 LRMP aircraft operate in pairs?

Very disappointed with these results and after this achievement I doubt that I will be revisiting LSH15 again any time soon.
