5 bombers? are you trying to die lmao, i would try to fend off 1 or maybe 2 if i am feeling lucky but you are asking to be sunk there. GWX doesn't change anything about them really and the rest of your questions seem to be answered

a simple tip i am not sure that everyone knows is that if you max out your damage control and flooding recovery time is still greater than lost compartment time you should move men into that area. crew members in a damaged section will increase repair rates slightly which may be enough to save the boat or at least fix it faster

you will use more compressed air if you are stationary and trying to float up rather than moving at speed and using bow planes. also the deeper you are the more compressed air you need to use to force the ballast out. the compressed air recharges from the diesel engines and can be recharged underwater if you have the snorkel fitted to your boat
