Plan 1 Theory:
Crash dive - get out of harm's way - resurface on edge of formation circle and give em' hell.
Reality:
By the time I got deep enough, I never came back up.
Plan 2 Theory:
Immediately go to surface flank speed, begin erratic maneuvers, quick 100 meter turns slowly working outward to edge of formation.
Reality:
Blown to smithereens before flank speed reached.
Plan 3 Theory:
Surface flank speed, immediate hard turn to port/starboard - thus minimizing profile for bomber (i.e., instead of down the entire length of the sub, only across the sub), get to outside of formation, and begin large elliptical plotted course then unload my flak ammo post haste.
Reality:
Total success. Shot down all planes, received perfect marks.
