I'm not arguing with what most of what you are saying, and actually most of you are proving my point. Late in the war ('44-'45) many of the younger captains did run on the top a lot. Most of the patrol logs and sources you are quoting come from Feb. '44 or later.
As far as the game goes (that was the original purpose of the post) I don't see a huge issue with the air attacks. I don't really remember how often I was attacked by air before I installed TM. I know that on my last mission I had a photo recon of Yokohama and I was able to sail on the surface all the way to the entrance of the harbor. I know in real life that would have never happened and my exec would have shot me himself if I would have even tried that.
