My flack gunners are deadly.
They take care of the bogies.. I stock up and gave them about 9000 pellets.

Most often they kill the planes on the first pass.

The key is to turn your ship away from the planes dive at flank speed. Circling works after they first pass. Rarely do they hit.. Most often they will bomb the same spots repeatedly, so avoid the spots the bombed.. They are definately more dangerous late in the war.

They can be very annoying mostly when you are attacking a merchant. But with the correct turns you can get back on target.

Sorry JB I haven't gotten that far yet..
Stock game = Planes are fun

I just finished my first campaign.
It took years to get this far.
Will try GWX soon

This game takes more patience than I'm use too giving.
I've always been into the faster games, I suppose that is why the plane shooting interested me. Fast and furious fun in the IXC..

ALARM!!!! FLOOD TANKS, DIVE PLANES SET FOR STEEP DIVE, RUDDER FULL TO PORT.
duking it out with planes is not only suicide, but i cant do it cause of ethical reasons... My gramps was a spitfire pilot.

on my first campaign back when i was a bit of a noob to subsim games,i would always try to kill aircraft. when i had the conning tower with 3 heavy quadrupile barrel flak guns, i thought i was invincible to planes. but after many an attack, i have learnt to stay smart, save crew, save my boat from damage, and save my computer from possible harm, i get a bit angry when my boat gets destroyed, but hey who doesnt.

just dive! you'll go down anyway. And the choice of going up again is just great!

Just wondering here, dose GWX do the same thing in real life where the planes would circle you just out of range of your guns in 1944? Interesting choice, take the chance of a crash dive or sit there and wait for a Destroyer or a HKG's to turn up.

robbierob2005 · 02-05-08, 11:17 AM

By the first sight of a plane........I press "C"

ALARM!!!!!!!!

Stealth Hunter · 02-06-08, 02:25 AM

Get the gunners on deck, hard to port or starboard to move in a spinning motion, ahead flank, FIRE AWAY!

Works every time... for me, anyway. The circle part is very important, however. Makes you very hard to hit.

I have experienced that type of behaviour from aircraft in the past, but only on the odd occasion and generaly when they're damaged.
