It is really not that difficult to land on the submarine, ok ok.. so you stack
2 out of 3 times.. but it certainly is not a fluke thing..

all you need to do is come in verry low, (below the level of the subs decking)
come in just below a stall heading on about a 45 degree angle from the sub (
you should be heading towards the conning tower end (i.e land on the rear of
the sub and use the length of the sub to actually stop) Aim at just missing the
conning tower and come in nice and slow.. air brakes on at the last minute,
wheels down and put the brakes on. Now.. just before you fly straight into the
side of the sub pull up (effectivly stalling) and you should effectively do a
controlled (non damaging) crash on the deck of the sub.. if you try it a few
times you will get it eventually..

also...

If you do it right you will also get refulled and rearmed.. which you can then
go and use against the sub..

But....

Taking off again is more difficult.. Switch to overhead view.. zoom right back
so that you can see your plane and the whole sub decking.. brakes on.. and
trottle up to 5% or 10% thrust and put yourself at the extreme end of the 
flightdeck, facing the right way..

Dont fall off.. after getting this far it is a real bummer :-(

go to full thrust, kill the brakes and everything else and you should make it..

best of luck..,

these instructions are from memory only so let me know if you have any
success..
