I run 1.5 ( US side ) basically stock under a few texture mods and I'm in my third patrol ( May 1943 I think ) and although the aircraft are very heavy at times I've never had to shoot one down yet nor have they bombed/shot me either. The way to avoid the airplanes is what you call
"Patience Grasshopper" and never go on surface more than 1024 TC and let your radar do the talking. You will have
plenty of time to go to Periscope Depth when a bird is spotted ( as in stock they can't see you at PD ), telegraph your engines at 1 kt and then maybe kick up the TC to about 2858 ( or whatever that number ) and keep the scope down and that way you won't see any planes and your TC will stay at what you put it ( at this TC you will come to at least 8 TC automatically if your sonar detects a ship/ships ). I use the clock ( pocket watch ) all the time when in TC so as to know just a little before sunrise to PD and a little after sunset to surface. I run 1/3 telegraph on the surface and 1 kt at PD, this way you will save on the fuel and the batteries.
Make sure you have already set up your "Way-points" before even setting out on you voyage........and
don't run a way-point through some Island either. 
A lot of the guys here can tell you stories about running aground...He He.
Now don't let me talk you into no Mods, heavens no. Go for any Mod that you wish for, I'm just telling how I do it.
OK, kick that sub of yours in the a.. and don't let those Japanese planes keep making you duck. besides your looking for a bigger piece of the pie and those planes are just the crust.
