Against a trained and aggressive anti-submarine opponent, the sub will be the loser where even a small amount of damage to the bridge could seriously endanger the boat.
For the most part, surfacing is a death wish at realistic and above levels.

DW only added stingers as a counter against players who chose the P-3 Orion in multiplayer games.
If you want to be true to history, then you should forget it's even an option and stay submerged against aircraft and evade.
