Kaluen Platapus learns a harsh lesson in war

Only fight back against aircraft if they're too close to dive. When aircraft spotted, I ask the WO for a range. If it's like 8km or so, I crash dive. If it's close, especially like 4km or so, it's unwise to dive right away, because he'll just drop his DCs on your back. So, as he approaches, man the flak guns, set for medium range attack, and as he does his dive, turn 90 degrees (going Flank, of course!). On that pass, the flak gunners may spoil his attack, or else the hard turn will. After he passes over, let your gunners fire at him for a few seconds and then straighten out and crash dive.
