Always good when you can pull something like that off,gives you confidence for the rest of the patrol,keep up the good work

I love the way they call out mates to come and deal with you as well

During the 27 patrols of my current career (it's april '44 now), I shot down only 5 aircrafts, and regreted every single one because I was damaget at each occasion.

Yeh, I remember the feel of accomplishment on one of my patrols ages ago when I shot down a Catalina, I was soooo proud of myself and though "HAHA! This' just the beginning you allied scum! I'm gonna get yaaa!!!". 0.2 seconds later I beached my boat.

Sometimes, you just get steamed: "I don't want to f**king crash dive again! Shoot the bastards!" Still, rarely a very good idea, in my experience.

Not to derail, but do people do a lot of course changes while avoiding aircraft? I tend to just dive, maybe do a quick turn, but then right back onto course within a few minutes. Can they track you this way?
