There is "historical" info there, along with a little map.

pb, my comments were not a criticism but a statement of facts of the game: the conditions available within the game are NOT the same as in real life and we only have the game conditions to work with.

as you are well aware, we can only work with airfield geography and aircraft specs.
in real life there are these items that limit a/c performance and create "gaps":

• parts and maintenance issue
• personnel staffing numbers for both pilots and ground crew (which is the greater number of heads)
• training of ground crew and flight crews
• attitude of ground crew and flight crews (who do you think had higher morale: the guys in Adak or the guys 35 minutes from London?)
• weather. i list it here because in the game will send a plane out no matter what the weather is and if it crashes, who cares. humans don't make the same decision.

i'm going to stop here.

That is 1033 KM south of Iceland and 1391 KM West of Ireland. I easily submerged and do not believe he spotted me, so obviously not running ASV yet. However, should have contacts this far out in July 1941? This is the air gap no?

i recommend modifying the parameters we have available such that you can actually get from your base to the frickin North Atlantic and sink some ships.
