Some DiD questions.

You guys who play DiD, got a couple questions for you. I'm thinking about starting a DiD career myself but I have some problems with it.

Do you duke it out with airplanes? I love trying to shoot down planes, but if I was playing DiD I don't think I would risk my 20+ hour game to try to shoot down planes, but at the same time I love trying to shoot them down! It's a dilemma for me, have fun trying to shoot down planes (and other fun/risky things) or discard some of the fun by diving and saving my butt. How do you guys deal with this issue?

How do you deal with Time Compression induced deaths? (ie TC'ing to home port and slamming straight into a wall because you didn't slow TC down fast enough, TC'ing into mines, TC'ing and getting nailed by a plane because the TC caused you to lose some reaction time, etc.) I really don't want to let my career go because of some BS like this.

Do you avoid doing extra dangerous, but extra fun things like sneaking into ports and such? I'm new to the game, so I'm itching to try sneaking into ports and nailing nice targets and sneaking out, but if doing so means a 50% chance of dying, I'd rather not risk my ass doing it if I'm playing DiD.

These questions are related. I want the extra thrill of knowing that if I die, I don't play that career anymore. It would make everything count for more, keep me from trying to rush things and let me savor kills more and all that good stuff. It sounds great, but I don't want to do it if it means that I have to miss out on all the fun of doing crazy things like trying to shoot down airplanes! I know that's not realistic, u-boat captains risking their sub just so they can try to shoot down airplanes, but I'll be damned if it ain't fun, and that's why I play games to begin with.
