Yes, I would also assume that the Swordfish trook off from the carrier. Naturally, Uboats were historically also attacked by Swordfish carrying DCs. In any case, if that's how the game was developed, than that's the way it is. |
A person could "clone" the swordfish, name it similarly, and make the default "Loadout" one of depth charges, and then assign that particular swordfish to the CV / CVE also... Have like a Torpedo Bomber "Swordfish", and an ASW "SwordfishASW", both in the AirGroups assigned to the ships... You'd never know what to look for from a swordfish attack, kind of like the Betty in the US Pacific side, where it can have bombs, depth charges or torpedo, with each plane having a unique loadout... It might also be though, that the swordfish(es??) you encountered had already used their explosive weaponry, and only had the machine gun left with ammo to use on your boat. lol :salute:

So, I checked this again and it explicitly mentions in the F1 Captains Manual, that this function is supposed to allow one to pick up enemy pilots or other surviviors, for which one receives merits upon RTB. Just FYI ;-) |
Okay, let me try to move this conversation over here:
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...243322&page=94 @Bubblehead1980 and @propbeanie So, increased these values in port as mentioned here (Bubblehead1980): - "Default Air Strike Probability=30>>>I increased it to 90 I believe" - Enemy Air Strike Probability Increase on Player Detection=50>>>changed this to 95 I believe". I also increased the airplane range to 1600 km. I left base on 23 Dec.42 and crossed the Bay of Biscay, again, without any enemy A/C encountered. Seems really odd to me ... |

Yes, found it - thanks! How do I apply, by JSGME or copy&paste the files in the game folder? |

Hi Niume, I installed this via JSGME ... apparently, no change: Left Bordeaux for my second shake down cruise in late Dec.1942 ... what can I say: ZERO A/C in the Bay of Biscay! Seems very odd to me and in my estimation, is the #1 item to be looked at for the upcoming new game version. Many thanks! |
Attacked by A/C!!!
UPDATE: After 8 days at sea, was attacked twice on 31.12.42, north of Cape Verdes, Qu.89DT, by B27 Liberator:
Each time approached from East at AOB 90°, attacking with machine guns and dropping 1 bomb with each run, which all fell wide. First plane attacked 4 times and flew off on westerly heading :hmmm:, second plane was shot down by flak after the initial run and fly over. No damages sustained to boat or crew. Finally, some planes! However, still odd that there is so few and none over the Bay of Biscay ... |
Another Update:
Started a career with KSD II, Version 1.4.2. Only thing I changed in the airstrike.cfg, is increased the aircraft range to 1600km. Left with a VIIC boat from the 11. U-Flotilla on 11 March 1943, and set off from Horten/Oslo to simulate the breakthrough into the North Atlantic with my IXD2 boat, U 115. What can I say: During transit of the Icland Passage, PLENTY of enemy airplanes! Mainly Sunderlands, Hudsons and a few Wellingtons. Had to crash dive several times, so far so good. Will transit via Qu.AL to my new base Bordeaux and will report back about crossing the Bay of Biscay .. |

Okay, I arrived in Bordeaux on 4 April 1943. Did not encounter any enemy A/C in the Bay of Biscay, but that could have been because of the bad weather we had. Only FuMB Detection we had was from our own escort plane Bf110 patrolling the approach path. Plan to leave Bordeaux on 3 May 1943 ... should be interesting ... |

Then, Escort Group with Carrier and A/C in 1577CG and 1752CG ... Further on, a single Sunderland patroling the area of 58/81/79CF, and then protecting a convoy in 12DH/87CF ... So, seems to be normal now. However, my question is, could it be possible, that somehow any campaign with a IXD2 boat of the 12th Flotilla in Bordeaux, is somehow "bugged" in a way, that there are less A/C? |
