Well i am not talking about to remove them, but a reduction may be welcome, if not posible, almost the number of attacking planes wich was some times more than ten. Very hard to let port without have severe damages.
An option is, finish the mission and dock and repair, but in the next mission, they was there a new time ! Another air attack ...
I supose the logical was to ensure the sub, there was not air contacs near, to ensure they can leve the port without being attacking.
Plus planes attacking harbours sure use free fall bombs not depth charges due to the low depth at harbours, and when i made my Free Fall Bombs Mod for SH2, i remember only few subs was destroyed by bombs, and if i dont remember bad only one (by recall) in water at harbour, then i soupose the sub destroy at dock was not common.
Well !! that info was into the readme of that mod.... i found it :
"Analyzing Real Life Situations :
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Analizing real situations, i found not many subs was destroyed by free fall bombs.
I found only 5 subs destroyed by free fall bombs :
One at dry dock into a shipyard
One at dry Dock
One in water at pier
Two at sea
U-2509 Type XXI :
===============
Destroyed at dry dock into a shipyard by handley Page and Lancaster bombs.....
I do not take this one.
U-471 Type VIIC :
===============
Destroyed at dry dock by B-24 Liberator bombs.
I do not take this one.
U-26 Type I :
===========
Severe damaged by a Destroyer the day before, was enforced to surface due to the electrical
compsumption of flooding pumps, the next day on surface was attacked by a Sunderland an
receive two direct hits with two 250 lbs free fall bombs.
Unable to submerge and severe damaged was sclutted by own crew.
No casualities.
Hull Resistance : max operational depth 200 meters.
U-64 Type IXB :
=============
Atacked by Swordfish was hit by one or more 500 Lbs free fall bombs.
Unable to found information if was one or two hits, i take one hit of a 500 lbs bomb.
Sub was at port, and was surprised by the planes incoming from the HMS Warspite in Narvik.
Crew was able to dive to avoid new attacks and was able to surface by own resources.
Severe damaged the sub sinks giving time to the crew to evacuate the sub.
8 crew members die, 38 survivors.
Hull Resistence : max operational depth 200 meters.
U-1107 Type VIIC :
================
Attacked by a Consolidate PBY-5A Catalina, may be with 1000 Lbs. free fall boms.
Unable to found how many bombs and type, but Catalina carries 1000 Lbs bombs, i soupose for this mod, one hit of a 1000 Lbs. free fall bomb.
37 crew members die, and some survivors, wich tells about heavy damage and notposible a ordenate eavacuation.
Hull Resistence : max operational depth 250 meters."
Just a personal opinion, and feed back, not intention to disturb you, but may be air raids at harbours may be not too succesful to be in concordance with the historical info.

My intention was to have strong escorts in later years and less in the first; and my work was to clone every convoy that exists those several years and give them a correct number and skill of escorts!
So now there are convoys in 1939 -40 which are just slightly guarded and the number of escorts increases steadily through the whole war to increase the difficulty.
