Yeah, first patrols around England and aircraft constantly overhead and constantly ignore me. I hope some one can mod aircraft so they become a threat as they were in SH3...

I kind of like there being no planes.

There better in Single Missions

If someone wants to mod the planes to be a threat then PLEASE mod them to fly moreso during the day then at night....

I spend daylight on the surface and submerge in the darkness off the British Isles.

the problem you all seem to have is that in 1939 most the coastal air patrol are Hurricane Mk 1's, Hurricanes were not fitted with bombs till the Mk 2b revision.

if you check the nav map, it'll show that bombers and other anti-shipping aircraft are stationed near the gibraltar strait.

later on in the campaign will anti-shipping aircraft populate the airfields around england.

Cool, the first spotting I went running and dived as soon as I could (old reaction from SH4) but the next time I didn't panic.

They do radio your position though. Even if the OP is right which he is.. Uboats had not many problems with aircraft first years of the war.

But I have had many times a DD come strolling around a few hours after the planes fly by a few times. I was long gone by then but I did get the sonar pings.

As far as now, after three patrols (december 1939 right now) I am not experiencing any problem regarding aircrafts.

In SH4 I hated them 'cause they constantly attacked and the first time I saw a Hurricane, I swiftly crashed dive to avoid bullets.... reality is that they do not attack for now.

I don't like them to fly over me so much though... so I constantly get at periscope depth just to avoid them see where I'm going.
