I agree that the air traffic is a little bit too dense in the early stages of war with OHII but on the other hand without it, it would be too easy for player to score unrealistically high tonnage . It's really hard to simulate fear factor in any game so maybe it is better this way.
That's for sure! I crawled 1/2 way up the eastern coast before my sub was shot to bits (no UZO and both scopes destroyed). I limped home with only about 5400 tons sunk - one merchant and one fishing boat!

And it's really not that bad IMO...Most of the time when your crew report aircraft and again few hours later, and again (and again ), it's the same plane, patrolling the same area, so it's natural for you to get the impression that sky is full of planes.
During the night or when is foggy or cloudy, planes will just fly over you and you wont be spotted.
I did notice that a couple of times I could not see the plane and from watch reports it just flew away on its course.

You should know also that when you send any radio message or you have been spotted by some unit (plane or ship) all nearby aircrafts will move in your direction.

So step beck a bit captain, take some distance form the British coast and maintain radio silence..
I didn't know about the getting spotted, and that makes sense. Radio silence it is then!
