They made the planes dangerous because they really were. I dont know the percentage, but I reckon AT LEAST 50% of sunk uboats met a plane before resting with the fishes. Just lost my boat to a Sunderland. Damnit! I was doing everything right! (Apart from the crash dive thingy

)
Rob about the hi-mod. I`ve never used it, I think you asked me about this a long time ago, when I was using GW1.1a and you were using vanilla. In GW1.1a and GWX you can go higher than stock with the external cam, and thats all I did. Sorry, mate, cant help you with that one.
