Stock game, aircraft are relativly weak, although a few of them will crash into you if you shoot them down. Primarly due to the angle of their attack, and they go out of control. But generally you want to avoid duking it out with aircraft, but if your caught at close range, diving, and having the ass end of your boat sticking out of the water, with no real ablity to manuver except down, is a bad situation. Kinda like this:



which resulted in this:


had i judged my distances better, and stayed on the surface, at flank speed with hard rudder, and dived after his first pass, odds are i would have survived.


and no, towers design do not effect underwater speed at all.
