Humm... No aircraft spotted?

I see that you all are consistently reporting numerous attacks by aircraft during your patrols but I have been in the Bismark sea for a while now and I have yet to see anything other than a seagull. I have been sinking ships left an right outside of Rabaul (convoys are pulling in one after another in Jan '43) and the Japs dont seem to care. I can sink a two oiler convoy (they are always unescorted

) north of Rabaul and then confidently sail away on the surface since no aircraft or destroyers are dispatched to search for me. I remember in SHIII that if you sank a ship in the channel you could count on a few destroyers to show up within an hour or so.

I am using the FTT 2.4 mod (great mod BTW) if that makes a difference. Is my experience realistic? I selected VERY HARD when I started my carreer, etc.

THANKS!
