There's an update to my mod that fixes the planes not attacking. It's in the thread where I ask for ppl to test 1.0

I recently restarted a campaign and was RTB after the initial ship sinkings. As I TC to Kiel, I see a ship 4+km out and turn to make an attack. W.O. calls out a plane and says it is friendly. I watch it as it dives and attacks the ship. It made two passes and the ship had an explosion that slowed it down enough for the torp to miss. I enjoyed seeing it. Also had an encounter with an enemy sub, it did maneuver around me for a bit like it was looking for me (I had no porps). At one point I thought I was toast as I watched it bring it's nose around through my 'scope, but it continued it's turn and I disengaged.

As I was leaving Lorient last night I passed by friendly merchant and warship contacts and one apparently died for some reason since a gray 'unit destroyed' icon appeared on my map. It was 20km away though and nothing was around by the time I got there.

i have twice now encountered damaged merchants, i can only assume that they had been damage by the luftwaffe. Easy tonnage!
