A few points.

1. The planes "coming at you" bit. I'm no fan of the SH4 airstrike paradigm, but you should know that while they are coming at you (sort of), they have NOT detected you (yet). The game generates them on a heading inside that 10nm circle, and they fly it. Detection is entirely separate.

2. IJNAF (it was almost entirely IJN air units flying sea patrols) planes certainly should get a little more dense over possible target areas later in the war. The IJN had air units tasked to patrol the convoy routes, and they actually even had pretty decent doctrine according to post war interviews with them I have read. They'd drop charges, AND dye markers, they would try and maintain contact or try and circle above submarine positions to force them to stay submerged, too. Still, they should not be "thick."

RSRDC doesn't have an Airstrike.cfg file, there is none to mod within RSRDC.
