Default German Planes

I had placed this in the Workshop forum but decided it would probably be better off here.
I had a nice playing experience the other day. I was going to attack a British merchant but by the time I got there a German (JU-88?) was making bombing and strafing runs in the ship. (I took lots of screenies).
My comment on this is one of curiosity. There is a new option for aircraft in the Patcher; British warplanes may be sent from carriers or nearby bases to attack the U-Boats, (if the ship sends the messages).
I am wondering if it would be possible one day to radio for Luftwaffe strikes on Allied Convoys and British Hunter group task forces. It would be a contact type report, maybe the choice would be made by the game weather to send U-Boat help or Luftwaffe help.
It was a sight to see when even the machine guns on the plane were causing visible damage to the ship and then the final bomb that finished the question.
It's just an idea to get the Luftwaffe that is available to us, (especially at the early stages of the war), to actually do something! Just a thought...

I'm not sure I got you right, but when I was going through Med campaigns I've always sent contact reports to Bdu and almost always they sent me Luftwaffe to help..

PS: I found a few screens -

Hello Volodya61,
Well, If I have the wolfpacks enabled in the patcher, I do get a response in that respect. Before the patcher came along, and I sent a contact report, the game was designed I believe, to send aircraft from time to time. I never had this happen in the game. Maybe the Mediterranean campaign does work better for this.
I was just hoping to see more German aircraft. I will post some of my screeen shots when I get them prepped.
I will try sending more contact reports when I find warship packs, although I'm afraid of getting U-Boats involved with a destroyer task force that I have no intention of attacking. I would love to see aircraft dispatched to attack a destroyer group. I'll experiment to see what the contact reports will send off the British coast.
