Could be wrong of course.

To my knowledge your 100% correct - The computer rolls a probability of a plane finding you based on various parameters then it spawns just outside visual range and attacks.
The aircraft only has two speeds maximum and minimum.
Im guessing alot of H8K and H6K would have been used in a patrol role carrying no bombs but mainly looking for task forces rather than subs - If they pinpointed a sub they would have then called in an attack.
Will have to read up a little more on that one.
In SH4 EVERY Aircraft if it see's you attacks - no recon - patrol AC at all.
