whilst i agree with the odds being against you, i'd like to think that even reasonably accurate flak fire MAY at least make an air attack against you less effective.
i think of it like this, if you were the captn of the boat and you couldnt dive it for whatever reason, youd deploy your flak and expect it to do something.

Well I read somewhere that the U-Boats shot down 212 aircraft while losing 168 subs to air attack though I think the figures should be the other way round as they would be closer to the ones on uboat.net which has a partial list where they mention 120 aircraft shot down or crashed under fire from u-boats while 250 u-boats sunk by aircraft; some of the U-boats having been credited with 3 kills.
So it should be quite possible to have a successful dual with aircraft if desperate measures need to be taken.
