Maybe it's modeled 'correctly' where the plane circles out of gun range while calling a destroyer in (that's if this tactic is really modeled).
If you dive, maybe it might attack again - try this.

IIRC.. it was rare for a bomber to attack a U-boat more than once, unless they were sure they had done some good damage - an aircraft is very vulnerable.. especially in the middle of the ocean. All attacks, if possible, were based on tracking and surprise - after the first attack is was generally suicidal to attack again.
