When I first started looking at the SHIV side of these forums I was browsing through the screenshot thread a lot. I noticed a large amount of shots showing the downing of aircraft. In SHIII, I almost ALWAYS dove as soon as I spotted aircraft as did most other players that shared their stories.
When I finally got SHIV I figured out why. The subs dive terribly slow, even when crash diving. It like your only choice is to stay up and fight instead of rendering yourself so defenseless as you wait for your boat to sink below the waves.
