I haven't had that problem. Maybe your assigned sailors don't have a very good gunnery skill or the aircraft are too high for them to fire upon.

But now, I always dive to just under periscope depth (usually 70 ft) and turn off the motor to conserve batteries (and ultimately, diesel fuel), until the sun goes down. I don't think it's worth it to shoot down enemy planes, as some of the more experienced people here have advised me. It's just not worth the risk, for the little bit of renown.
