Did a little experimenting last night sailing submerged at high TC and found that as long as i stayed below periscope depth (was 80 ft or deeper) never had this problem, so it leads me to believe that I was in fact getting bombed by aircraft at PD.
A different observation however: I was "patrolling honshu" in heavy seas and noticed that I keep losing my deck watch as we keep "submerging" as we hit the crests of waves, so I occassionally go blind from time to time as my watch is gone. Not the best thing to have when you are 100-200 miles off the Japanes home islands....
