Default Air Cover

Hello all,

I was enjoying my last few hours with GWX 1.03 this morning (more fun when there is nothing to lose since I'm reinstalling later on) and I noticed that there was some rather predictable air cover activity.
I detect radar signals from aircraft, and immediately dive down to periscope depth. I stick up the scope (this is not usual activity, but I did it to confirm my suspicion) and watch the planes patrol. EVERY time, they show up, do a 180 within a thousand meters of where I am, and then head away. My detection meter never blinks off of green, so I highly doubt that they have detected me. So this means that they are programed to spawn and arrive where you are, and if they don't detect you, head away on the opposite heading? Is there any way to mod in air patrols that actually follow historic ones or typical air cover? I know there was a lot of air cover, but it kind of sucks that they always will come to your exact location, circle once, and then leave. Maybe this is addressed in GWX 2.0...maybe fixing this would overwhelm the processor. I don't know jack about modding. As it stands though, it seems to be nonsense that planes that have not the slightest suspicion of where you are will do a 180 right above you and head home everytime they patrol.

Just wanted to hear any thoughts about this.
