Pretty much what it says on the tin...

From early 1944 (I think it is), you're faced with the prospect of the Allies bombing the harbour as you sail away from it - and your U-boat, too, if you choose to remain on the surface.

For immersion purposes, I love it - really adds to the sense of peril and of the walls closing in on the U-boats (and Nazi Germany generally). One quibble I've always had, though, is the aircraft assigned. Namely, you get B-24s coming in at low level, which is tantamount to suicide for them (as evidenced by the raid on the Ploesti oil refineries in 1943 IIRC).

So, to my question: is it possible to replace the squadron of B-24s with something a bit more appropriate, like Beaufighters or Mosquitoes? I've got S3ditor if that's required, as I imagine it would be. Any help gratefully received :-)
