It is the job of the aircraft to spot and attempt to destroy you. If they spot you are no longer a suprise as they will all know for sure that a sub was sighted in the area thus making your job all the more "easy". Do like they really did if you get a report of an ac on radar or whatever be gone if the belived path is going to take the plane within 5 miles of you the 40mm and the 20mm a so much better employed aginst small boats. In TMO they have a chance of seeing you as far down as 150ft at times so best to crash dive ASAP works for me I have never been hit by ac bombs or DCs to be honest they have been a few hundred yards off before though.In a Balao class it takes about 40-45 seconds just for the sub to completly submerge and about 1 minutes 25 seconds to be below 100ft 60ft is not safe in TMO you will die at this deapth if an ac is over head. I leave the planes to the USAAF,Navy,and Marine fighters they can shot them down I like the idea of boring them to death.
