If I run on the surface & get the Aircraft Spotted message I crash dive right away however it's a coin flip if I'll get hit or not. Got hit once and down we went.  |
Your air search radar should be giving you ample warning to get under. Take advantage of it. If you wait until the plane is visually spotted it'll likely be too late. Gatos aren't as nimble as U-Boats in this regard. If you run at periscope depth all day it really degrades your submarines operational range, as fuel will have to be burned all night to recharge those batteries.
Sadly, the stock version of the game throws way more aircraft at you than the Japanese deployed in most areas historically.
