Also I had a question on depth. I'f I'm just below the surface (10m-15m) in the stock game it doesn't seem that planes can see me. Meaning that if I move just below the surface, and move to a new spot just 100m away planes can't seem to hit me with anything, even if I keep my scope up. Does GWX make it so that the water is more transparent like in SH4 and even if it doesn't, does it make the AI act like it is?

i dont believe they can see you through the water however they will see you pretty easy if your scope is up (i think height may make a difference but i am sure in RL they could see your trail if moving)The AI for all ships and planes are set to veteran so they are tougher opponents meaning more accurate and better at spotting you sometimes before you spot them

no you can still blow them up just as easy,it just may not be a fatal blow to the ship as they have increased HP, once or twice i have hit fuel bunkers even in stock and the ship continues on fire for quite some time

I need their help for 2 things.
First I need them to start attacking I convoy I can see on Sonar.
Second I'm underwater with not enough compressed air to blow ballasts and can't move my dive planes. Meaning I won't sink but I need heavy repairs before I run out of batteries or O2 for that matter.

if you send a contact report you may get help from the luftwaffe or other uboats but this take time to arrive, also you need to see a convoy or task force for them to take any interest (i have heard it is 3+ ships are needed to trigger support). i have only ever had support from air and all they do is steal your kills
.dont think this has changed at all in GWX
i think they can only launch once you confirm visual contact of 3+ ships. also dont blow ballast often its a huge waste unless your really deep and need to get up fast to attack and then dive again. just set ahead standard and dive planes will bring you up easily. if one set of planes is destroyed depth keeping becomes extremely difficult e.g. full or flank will make you dive without bow planes and aft planes are mainly for stabilisation so you can dift up and down by a few metres which can cause you to be seen(if both are out you have pretty much had it and should abandon the patrol) O2 can last very long, batteries is what you nearly always run out of first(never find yourself in a position where you have no compressed air,always try to use bow planes when you can)
