So issue is why do they do these silly dry runs? Really eliminates the effectiveness of patrol aircraft because once sub has time to submerge odds of doing any damage are quite low.

Something similar happens in SH5 as well, we had a thread about it in SH5 Workshop forums:

There, this issue seems related to submarine speed: if the player stays still or sails slowly, plane will drop bombs on first pass, but when going at flank speed it will constantly make dry runs without ever being able to hit the player. No idea how much of this translates to SH4 though.
