Very, very rarely, like once or twice, I had some air support show up, but it may have just been luck.
Now with the h.sie mod you can supposedly get wolfpack support.
I don't think the enemy responds to your radio transmissions at all in SH3.

I'm not sure about that. On several occasions I have sent radio messages to HQ and only a short while after that (while waiting for a reply), I was attacked by aircraft, who seemed to know exactly where I was. I use the radio sparingly now because of it (or if I am bored and trying to provoke a response)
Of course the game doesn't -but maybe should- let you tune in on the 600 meter bandwidth to monitor international radio traffic. The enemy captains would call out a code S.S.S. alerting for U-boats in the area, and that would be a good way to determine if your stealthy approach had failed...
