Yeah, never good to cruise on the surface in good weather during the day at 1024 TC. Use a lower TC value and from time to time drop down to real time for a little while. I also submerge from time to time to make a hydrophone check. This is especially true if you're relatively near the shore. When in doubt, cruise submerged and you can safely go to 1024 TC.
But planes never really cause too much disruption to our missions. Of course I have the VIIC with two, twin 20mm guns and the crew does a good job of sweeping the planes from the sky - I usually take over for a few shots myself since it's fun as hell. Had one guy get killed when he shot at a plane that dove on us, the damn thing crashed into the boat. Another time had two guys wounded but the medic patched them up in no time. The only time it got a bit exciting was when 12 Sunder lands jumped us at once. We were chasing a T2 so things got a bit hectic. The pitter-patter of machine impacts all around us, the droning sounds of airplane engines, bomb gyzers all around us and the crack of our cannon. Whoooo, gotta love it!
We bagged two of the Sunderlands then dove since it got too hot. Tailed the T2 submerged for about an hour then finished her off with clear skies.
