When I have decided to fight it out on the surface, I usually instruct the chaps to only fire on aircraft which are within mid-range or shorter.

Shooting at aircraft at long range has a low success rate & wastes ammunition.

There are however, times when aircraft have been able to bomb us without the chaps opening fire.

That seems downright strange, but when they do that 'dive/pull back the stick/lob the DC at the U-boat' routine, they sometimes manage it without getting within range.

Do you have 'only open fire on targets within mid/short range' selected?
