Same here. I only tangle with planes if I am forced to, either by being caught short or being caught in the process of reloding externals. I know I could simply dive, but that's gaming the game, not playing by historical limitations that didn't make it into the game. A shame; though I admit it is very, very tempting to dive, but I resist the impulse. I once got caught by a Catalina and it made three passes on me before my flak gunner shot it up and it flew away, smoke trailing from one wing. I only reload externals at night time, away from heavily patrolled areas or in foggy but calm weather. Rough seas I don't even bother.
