I'm playing my first Silent Hunter 4 campaign, with the expansion, TMO, and RSRDC installed, and I've just had the same scenario repeat three times in a row on my very first mission: I get an airplane warning and immediately hit 'crash dive'. Immediately isn't immediately enough, however, as the plane is on me less than ten seconds later, and I get the crap bombed out of me. To be clear, this isn't some case where I keep reloading; I get bombed, dive, make repairs, do course wiggling, surface, and am able to sail a bit before the next plane teleports in, or seems to.

What am I doing wrong? Is there something I should be doing to get more warning? I tried shooting back once, but that just got my AA guy killed and both periscopes knocked out...
