Welcome Herr Kaleun!

Your crew will never say "ship / airplane spotted" while submerged.
Using the stock settings (because mods may change them), once you are in visual range of a ship you will fall to TC X32. If you happened to travel at hugh TC, then you will evantually be spotted sooner than you will spot them and your TC will automatically fall to X8 (called "hunted" state).

It is not recommended to travel with more than x256, esp. in rough waters. If you travel with more than X256 you will notice less planes, but you might also get rammed by a DD
