Group patrol altitude is 10000 , scrambling fighters between 9000 and 11000. Time for all group planes to reach interception is 64 minutes I´m counting 16 sunk subs and 3 with heavy damage. To me it looks as if the Manila Sub Fleet is dead. As I said, 3 times out of 3, it was allways very similar, at least 15 subs were sunk.
