I never quite got a straight answer...

DO Planes ever Strafe the Uboat with GUNFIRE?! Just today on my first patrol out i was shadowing a c2 for like 3 hours real time trying to get into a decent firing position and doing the calculations myself for the first time. Well while i finally figured her speed and course, and adjusted my boat to it, i didnt realize i was pretty close, and being surfaced the boat spotted me and must have called coastal command. Out of nowhere while getting ready to get into firing position i heard its engines and panicked trying to look where it was coming from! It missed waaaaay aft of my boat and just flew off. It was a spitfire!! So i know it had guns!! Why didnt it strafe my uboat! It could have totally shot up my panicked crew?! Anyway this angers me so much! How can they not add machine gun fire to planes? Only depth charges and bombs? Sooo lame.. This is probably my biggest dissapointment. Anyway sorry for the long story, but do planes ever strafe you or what!
