When I did the ship hunting missions, I honestly thought I was there to simply escort some Stuka's, because let's face it, even with cannons, you just aren't going to fatally damage or sink a large ocean going ship! I just stayed as high cover waiting for some RAF types to show up, (never did) and then flew back to the airfield. The immersion factor went straight out of the window there and then I'm afraid

lol... if only 20mm's were needed to sink ships, then there would be no need for bombers or torpedo planes. The jerries could have saved themselves a shed load of money You could probably empty your guns into the bridge for the sake of immersion. A fairly common practise for those without some big boom boom slung underneath. (I doubt you'd get any practical value from doing so in game though but you never know, CFS3 had you strafing ships IIRC)

Heh, no, you can blow them up with a big boom! Check out the relevant video here!

Glad you made it! Always wondered what a realistic time was to get back in the fight...

It depended on the situation, but based on my readings for a lot of rescued English pilots it was same day delivery to their airfield if they were not wounded.
Im sure it was a similar situation for the Germans as well. Man that is service! Back to your squadron that same day or your pizza is free!
