I haven't died yet in my career in NYGM 3.0. I
can say that aircraft are anything but impotent (you'll see some posts I made bitching about excessive air cover north of Scotland in '39/'40 - none of them killed me but did damage me).
I died in a previous career in a rather ridiculous manner. I'd managed to infiltrate a convoy (submerged) and was lining up a BB (
Revenge class I think) for a full salvo. I hit the wrong key by mistake, blowing ballast and surfacing all of 700m from it.
Those casement secondary guns are quite effective at that range....
