I don't think the problem is the "planes", but the effect of the "planes" on the theatre of war. The effect of the subs should be calculated also. thus we get more variables: location, kills, attacks made, attacks suffered, chanche of spotting a convoy (weather related), random accidents, random encouters etc etc etc..

Those factors make it hard. A plane only around for a few moments and isn't that important as such. Also as there is no direct interaction between subs (only my megaphone and strobe light), there is no real need for AI subs.

P.s. I just read Iron coffins (great book) and it seems they could learn a lot from the actions of companion subs (I mean they would hear DC attacks torpedoes etc etc). I found the number of attacks they suffered extremely high (outbound and inbound from brest, about 4-8 a day as long as they would be in the bay).
