IN the game, I was down to 50% preassure-hull damage after a plane made just two passes! That makes all encounters with planes in the Campaign lethal. That's not only unrealistic but it kills the gameplay stone-dead.

Your talking about a tank, and not only that, but a Modern tank. Which is equipped with BETTER armor in the way of metals and better design than probably any US WWII fighting vehicle could have had.
Why do you think subs rather dove than fight a plane, yes they have bombs but the machine guns could rip them apart.
Here, Yes I got this from wikipedia but to each his own.
The Type VIIC/42 was designed in 1942 and 1943 to replace the aging Type VIIC. It would have had a much stronger pressure hull, with skin thickness up to 28 mm.
This means the pressure hull would have been ALMOST an inch thick, easy for rounds to penetrate. Thats why they dove, even against a plane with no bombs, their chances were pretty high they couldnt dive again.
Submarines were built to be able to dive and fire torpedoes, not withstand hundreds of aircraft machinegun rounds.
