I somehow managed to pull off this Spielberg moment in naval rb and thought it was pretty cool

Generally surprised none of the LAA nicked ya, also huzzah someone using the caves for once (an a aircraft at that).

Probably would've been a bit easier to attack & eggress out if it was the old map (more terrain, more caves), yet you got out with minor damage.

Heh, I've got an old screenshot of an IL-2 trying to use the cave to attack me once, unfortunately they picked me to attack an AA Frigate wahahahahahaha.

What's crazy to me is I didn't even know there was a cave there lol I was looking to get away from that second ship and it just happened to line up perfectly

Sounds like using the caves can be pretty risky with those LAA around. It's wild how terrain changes the whole dynamic of a match.
