I'm not having as hard a time as you are and I use "realistic" setting. I'm not seeing a lot of complaints from others that the missions are completely unwinable. I do see quite a few posts and vids that people seem to lose a lot before they get the hang of it. Have you watched videos? Tried these?

Of the default subs, the LA is not the quietest but it is the fastest.

You'll never see aircraft on your sensors and their weapons will come out of nowhere unless you are lucky enough to see them drop a sonobuoy first (rare.)
If you listen carefully, you can hear them pass overhead.
This is why I mentioned the ESC and F4 keys which give you a clue these things are hanging around. In your ownship 3D view, look all around and you should be able to spot a helo dipping a sonar near you. If you pass near that location making noise in a quiet environment, you will NOT escape notice. They will not only attack you with their own weapons, but will vector supporting weapons from any nearby ships.
