Don't mess with Allied planes...Nearly bought it, West Africa April 1943.



June 1943 finally at long last my first K-Ship incounter...Now the bad news, I shot at it at point blank range and nothing!

If I knew you could not shoot them down I would have not bothered...A bloody big target like that you can not miss it! Bullet proof airships what next?

It's a big bag filled with an inert gas. It would take a whole lot of holes to make it want to come down.

May 1941 in FF55

After a coincidence when TF was opposite course I could relieve some eels and the fleet became confused and reduced speed,and torps got a little spread, but I could at least get some nice catches, DD was unusually hesitant and confused.

You can shoot them down with enough holes. They then gently settle down to the water and expire.

I have just come across them twice, and they slow right off, and appears to be unstable but it's good to know that they can "fall down" to the sea surface, after X number of shots or equivalent
