In SH4, regardless of what mod you're using, planes are either destroyed or not.
Meaning, 99% damage = fully active plane. The fire and smoke is just for show. At least that is what my experience says.
VonTrapp is right, I think that only DDs and onwards used flak shells. They had some indution that triggered them close to the airplanes, and the shrapnel should cause enough damage to bring a plane down, but as I recall it, only larger guns could fire such shots and I never read anywhere about subs using this kind of ammo. Only cannons and heavy MGs were used, and even so, diving immediately was also the procedure of choice instead of facing the air attack.
I always considered that standing in the surface to face a plane is suicidal thing.
