[REQ] Spotting of submerged subs by aircraft - any mods deal with this?

Interesting that John Campbell, after decades of research for Naval Weapons of World War Two, would get that wrong.

The ones with those settings are also listed as "probably" not in use by 1941. Of course they may have been using the type 95, the same as the ships used, in which case the settings would be 30 and 60 meters.

The quote I posted was from the US Strategic Bombing Survey interviews directly after the war with japanese officers.

It was not a type 95, it was a modified GP bomb.

Well, that puts a whole different slant on things. I'm familiar with that work as it strongly affects an airwar miniatures game that a friend of mine developed years ago. If they said it, it's almost certainly true.

You win.:rotfl:
