Luftwaffe air support

Ok, i've noticed that some of my fellow kaleuns is missing the luftwaffe and their excellent support in the heat of battle. Here is a clue....
Using GW 1.1a :
The date is June 2, 1942, and me and the crew has left the port of Bergen in our brand new ViiC. (Brand new = Bernard hasn't used the toilet on this one....yet. Personally i think Bernard is a relative to "Borat".... ) Anyway, as you folks know, there is a british task force outside the norwegian coast, between Shetland and Bergen. It consists of a group of destroyers, eager to get som uboat for dinner. I intercepted these fast-travelin' mercenaries of destruction, and was going to PD when my stealth meter suddenly went red.... "Dang, whats this?", i thought to myself.... I ordered scope up, and my worst nightmare came through. (Noooo, i didnt imagine Bernard getting any children..Duhh)

All of the destroyers had turned around, and was heading STRAIGHT for me! I told my crew to set her up for a bowshot at the closest one, while i tried to find out what went wrong since they dicovered us. (I can tell you this much: It includes Bernard + 1 piece of emergency rocket, and the explanation; "I wanted to zee if it worked, herr kaleun..."

)
I hit the nearest destroyer with a torp under the bow, but i think the rest of them got p**sed of by that... So i started a cat and mouse game with them, to avoid beeing DC'ed.... But it didnt help. It rained depthcharges!
After a while, with a lot of zig-zagging, i managed to raise my scope to see if there was any chance of another shot, and surely, it was. A destroyer was turning around in front of me, well in range for a nice suprise. I open the outer doors, waited until he read 000 on my scope, and "fire one"!!! The clock indicated 23 seconds to impact, but after 30, still nothing had happend. I considered this a miss, and raised my scope to see where that b@5t@rd were... I locked on to him, and started turning around for another shot. Suddenly i saw the whole back of the destroyer go up in flames! "What the..... I didnt have any homing torps aboard, how could this be....??"
Then i realized it. Behind all the smoke of the burnin' brit, a dark shadow appeared in the sky. I looked around, and there were tons of them!! LUFTWAFFE!!!!!

I didnt call the, or deliver a contackt report, so i'll guess that this had to be scripted in the GW or something. But those little friends sure saved my day!!!

Here is some pics:

Conclusion: Dont underestimate the power of the luftwaffe!
