GWX 1.02 Aircraft

[loreed]

Is it just me or is anyone else having half the allied aircraft they encounter fly into the ocean? The number of aircraft the RAF and Royal Navy lost around my positon would have wiped out half their avialable sunderlands and locheed hudsons and I only shot down two of the sunderlands. My course to the northern Atlantic is almost a solid grey line of aircraft that flew themselves right into the water. In addition I was sailing along mid Atlantic minding my own business and kept running into Dehaviland Mosquitos and Bristal Beaufighters. The problem is I was 1300 miles from the hearest allied airbase and the max range of a Mosquito with external tanks is only about 1900 miles at a optimum altitude and speed and it is less for the Bristol Beaufighter and Locheed Hudson (I think). This means that every aircraft I saw could not possibly get back to an airbase. COnversely, I saw not catalinas or sunderlands at all which is correct as I was beyound their safe operational range as well. I would have been a tasty morsel for a Liberator however! Is anyone else seeing this or do I just have a squirrely career going here?

Concerned :hmm:

Where were you when you saw these aircraft 1300 miles from the nearest base ?

[Mush Martin]

I had this a few times before but not half by any stretch.

cause possibly aircraft set not to "delete on last waypoint"
and so it circles downwards.

I remember though that in my runs though was it Sh worlds 3.0
I had the messerschmidt sqaudron go under together and struggle
along like torpedos they came up on the other side of the harbour
after making about 3 knots underwater for about a minute and a half
and flew away and they were not at a way point end
they may have been at a waypoint but they continued onwards
to the next one. (to their credit as best they could under the circumstances)
they were in the low arc of a down swoop.

BigBoyWooly,

I Was in AK62 If I remember correctly which is about 1300 miles from Reykjavik. Also of note at this point I was similtaneoulsy attacked by one Locheed Hudson, two Bristol Beaufighters, one Dehaviland Mosquito, and two B-24's. There were two Hudsons and two Mosquitos but one each did a swan dive into the North Atlantic before they got to me. At that point i dove to 100 meters and decided to call it a day!

Mush Martin,

Glad to hear its only a temporary thing, I think I will forego the rest of the partol and head in, These aircraft are making it hard to get into the spirit of the simulation.

My answer was meant to be speculative not definitive.

[bigboywooly]

Rubini and myself are looking into this
I beleive we know the reason

Are you sure it was miles and not Kilometres

Oops, you are right, its kilks not miles. But, I submit it is still out side the OPERATIONAL range of the Hudson, Mosquito and Beaufighter.
