Was ordered to patrol Verde Bay and Verde Is. area. December 12th, while on station at 3 pm and 5 pm, I was on surface (I know, I know) and was attacked by single Kawanishi H6K Type 97 Large Flying Boat on both occasions. Went to battle stations, manned Ma Deuce and told Petty Officer 2nd class Ian Callaghan, manning the AA gun to fire at will. The first aeroplane made a strafing run and then a bombing run with a near miss, no damage to boat in either case. The second aeroplane made his bombing run and then his strafing run, again with a near miss and no damage. In both cases Callaghan got hits on aeroplanes and both left on fire.
So, it would seem that some planes do sometimes see boats.

Well... we don't want you having to go into the Save folder for edits on Rank Insignia... we'll do some digging.
Some planes do attack, so you do still have to be careful. The big floatplanes are rather cumbersome, but can hit every once in a while, plus they have more bombs and more chances to try. Some of the smaller planes are rather precise in their attacks - but only the ones that see you. This issue is 'fixed' in the next release. Still stepping through them all though to make certain they aren't blind as the three blind mice...
