The planes are ok
Read some US cruise reports and you can see subs that yo-yoed diving half a dozen to a dozen times a day to avoid planes. The only ones that didn't encounter planes that often were the ones that stuck their heads in the sand all day and surfaced at night. Those captains were replaced.
Now you're a German. Not only are American planes common but they mostly all have radar, which the Japanese did not. You do the math.
A couple of things will help. Don't fight airplanes. Dive and avoid. If they see you they call in a report and more of their friends arrive to check you out. If you are not spotted again within a certain length of time planes will stop coming toward you.
I had a real tough time adjusting at first, but now unless they get very lucky, I'm fine with the airplanes. Sure miss the radar on Kraken!
