For playability, and to keep the game's sub skipper 'honest', the IJN in FotRSU has more / better electronic gear than they did in real life, so they can indeed track you down with counter-measures. However, you 'see' them on radar before they see you, and you're able to 'hide'. Check-out Rockin Robbins Airplane Avoidance with Radar Tutorial video for one technique. For FotRSU, I use a bigger circle, due to the planes being more aggressive, and the bigger circle gives me a few more seconds to track them, and a few more seconds to get deeper. As in TMO, the planes can supposedly see your sub down to about 120 feet depending on circumstances. All that said, you might not have SD on that Sugar Boat, which complicates things a bit. If when you press the "T" key you see a text prompt in the crew's dialog box of "Turning on SD radar...", then you do have it. To turn it off, use the same "T" key, and you'll see a "Turning off SD" or similar. The NavMap displays the contacts it finds...
