Not much to tell. Crash dove as usual and for once the plane's ordnance hit me.
99.9% of the time they can't hit the broadside of a barn, not even close. I long ago shortened the radar warning receiver's ranges to make them a little more interesting, get them to see me and at least drop ordnance. Otherwise at non-edited receiver ranges they're pretty much zero threat and don't even do that.

Except for a relatively short time period in 1943, those German radar detectors were completely useless, because Allies changed radar wave-lenght pretty soon. So radar detectors shouldn't be of any help in SH3 anyway. |

Right, plus some commanders never trusted them and so didn't use them anyway.

What kind of aircraft was that? Or did your crew sleep so they not manage the AA gun's in time.... well, maybe it's was a kimazke pilot...

No idea. Got the warning and crash dove. I don't ever bother with the AA guns.

Welcome Back
...been a semester since you posted @ John P. Did U execute a hard-90⁰ turn as U crash dived?

No, never have. See above, no reason to; they can't hit anything anyway. Sometimes i get that silly and meaningless flak gun and forward deck minor damage (how can my crew even tell that outside damage when we're submerged......) but that's no big deal.

Don’t know what you’re playing, but got hitted (sometimes very badly) plenty times … almost each time I’m not fast enough to dive and reach the quite safe 70m

Strange. My experiences have been with base NYGM, base GWX, and various "Frankenstein" installs. All the same; ordnance is dropped off to the side of my path, to long, to short, etc. I can't recall EVER receiving serious damage from an aircraft's standard bombs or depth charges. (I don't consider the above flak gun/forward deck as serious). FIDO and MAD Catalina excepted. Heck, at 40 meters I go to all slow until crash depth is reached.
