Depending on your location and year, constant air attacks are logical. Later in the war as the allies installed radar in AC, not even the dark of night was safe anymore.

There is a fairly easy fix (by adjusting the spawn distance from airbases to 0.1 you should be able to effectively preventing aircraft from spawning) but it will take away the realism of air attack which was a constant factor to U-boats during WW2.

If you're really that annoyed with air attacks, PM me.

Aircrafts are not always easy to spot.

It´s better to crash dive as soon as the IWO tells you "Flugzeug gesichtet!"

Welcome aboard Kaleun wowo668

Air attacks are pretty unrealistic in stock/vanilla your right....and the weather often prevents you from manning the AA guns.

You have three choices here:

1) Take WB up on his offer

2) Heed Hanomags good advice

3) Try GWX and wish you'd taken up one of the previous two pieces of advice

Well, if you eliminate "air cover", game is not challenging so much...

You can stop engines South of Ireland for a days... and gain renown like Grizzly in a salmon creek...

Just a little tip.

Remember high TC will lead to less aircraft sightings.
up too 128TC you should not notice any drop off of aircaft sighting as the war goes on.
But any higher you start to have less sightings.

Hope this helps

Good hunting
