You really think so? In real life aircraft were a submarine's worst nightmare. More than twice as many u-boats were sunk by aircraft as aircraft were shot down by u-boats. Another factor is that one hole in the pressure hull and your u-boat is now a fairly slow surface gunboat, with nowhere to hide.

Trust me, doing it in a game is nothing like doing it in real life.
