I haven't come across aircraft much, as I try to stay away from places that might have them - only gotten to 1942 so far. However, when I do spot them I man the flak gun(s), immediately order flank speed and turn directly toward/away from the aircraft. Then, hopefully the flak gunner and speed will cause the bombs/rockets to be aimed long/short. Immediately the plane has climbed/turned away to make another run, I crash dive and make a 30-120 degree turn once I pass 20m.
Out of three real encounters, I've survived all three with only one dead (machine-gunned) flak gunner and a damaged deck gun.
