Use the search funtion to find threads about lessing the air strikes.

yeah it's getting really bad, it's patrol 2 and i can't get away!!!

If you're spotted by aircraft, you'll invite more air strikes along your projected course. Try changing course and submerging for a while.

If you're using the stock game then your problem will not go away, the air attacks are completely out of whack. Get Trigger Maru or one of the other major mods, they have tweaked the air attacks to a more realistic level.

well i turned the "defalt attack prob" from 10 to .2 and it seems to work.
i saw 2 planes the rest of the way and they missed me luckily!

Whether they're one or many it seems to me if it's forewarned you, it's saved you.

I'm at 200 feet right now (different computer), mid-morning on 26 February 1942, attempting to cross major Japanese shipping lanes just south of Kyushu. I dove for a plane on what has become their standard north-south patrol. I see them coming and going ... usually two or three times a day. I dive at first report (ignoring direction and map plot ... not realistic) and stay under for about 15 minutes. I do that twice (the same plane usually makes a return trip). Except in very unusual circumstances, I then have a few hours to cruise unmolested on the surface.

It takes approximately 16 minutes to recharge batteries for every 10% depleted. I do that at 1/3 ... then, when done, advance to 10 knots.

The only time I even consider duking it out with an aircraft is if it's nearly dark ... when there is far less chance I'll be subjected to follow-up attacks and a lot more time to put distance between myself and a downed plane. I always assume that the first thing a patrol plane does, if it spots me, is report my position. Then he may or may not attack. So I do my best to not be spotted.
