Wow!!...how lucky....you've obviously been playing a long prior to joining here....I'd love to know the secret (really) because I'm sick to the back teeth of the bastids

Where abouts do they attack you? I've actually been trying to figure out how to increase air attacks in GWX3, are they historically accurate?

Whenever I see them it's always after 41' and I usually don't see many if any at all

When I used NYGM it was a daily occurance (I think I posted straffing pics) but now all that I have to worry about is the royal navy

Barely ever seen any German planes wither, just in harbor and a couple times I seen the odd ship get straffed. But yeah I don't know how I manage to avoid them, I sail from keil between Scapa Flow and whatever the base NE of it is called, then around England till i'm above Ireland then I go where I'm told (Whipped by BDU lol)

Although if you recall I posted that I was sailing for Penang, I ended up getting straffed so I guess they are out there.

But in any event I still use a U-Flak For punching holes in small ships - (2500Ton or less) the 37mm works well

What time compression are you using? Anything above 128x and you see a lot less of them. Or is it 256?

It's mid June '40 in my GWX career and I got attacked by planes so many times around the Shetlands that I now do that area underwater during the day.

Damn you - Avro Anson lol

I always go due N of the Shetlands to try and avoid air attacks, and usually find bad weather which is a godsend.

But I know what you mean about the the pesky Avro.

Plenty of Ansons up north from the commencement of hostilities.

If you come across one or more of these it generally means there is a carier in the vicinity.
