WELCOME ABOARD, jamesdeanoo7!
First, are you playing the stock game? That has been a noted problem for almost four years now, and there have been many mods which attempted to fix it. NYMG and GWX both take measures to reduce the number of planes while increasing their individual deadliness. In real life patrol bombers usually attacked in groups of one, and they got a lot more u-boats than u-boats got planes.
I use GWX myself, and never have the problem of too many planes. Except of course that one is almost always too many.
