Default Airplane weak spots...

I was just wondering if planes, like ships, have various weak points modelled into them?

And if they do where would be the best place to aim for them? Personally I always tried aiming for the fusulage as it is generally the largest target.

I believe so. Engines are always a nice place to aim for. Of course with my poor aim, I'm lucky to hit anything at all.

Since the U-Boot Schule, haven't been able to hit a single airplane in either stock or GWX. Even the 38mm seems useless. I think to dive is the only defense. When air attack probabilities are high, I run with a 6 meter depth in light seas. It reduces my the time to get underwater. But you pay by increased fuel consumption.

BAH!
People always say- 'plane = dive' OK yes that realsitic i suppose, but its also boring and COWARDLY....
Where are your BALLS? Lifes more fun when you take risks, for me it depends on the plane type, how many, and my Uboats Flak load out.
Now- if I got C38s and its a lone plane that is NOT a B-24...... BANG BANG BANG!!!! "ILL KILL YA" and yes Ill even do it GWX, If die, well at least i tried - better luck next carreer.
