I usually fight it out on the surface till early 1942. Both sides are about even. After that I dive, dive, and dive deeper. In 1942, the a/c start getting the better weapons and equipment, while all the Uboats get are better radar detectors. So I go with the flow, diving a soon as it gets anything. That and getting attacked by 19 Short Sunderlands in 1943 tend to cure you of fighting it out!

The attack was a beauty to watch on the external cam. 19 Sunderlands attacking me. Altogether 6 planes collided with each other. Of course I got no credit for those!

Still, once you get the single/twin auto 37mm in late 1943(?). It is nice to shoot down a tommie every now and then.

Be very wary once the B-24s come into play, the can lob a lot of bombs at you from outside your effective gun range.
