What do you do if you see enemy aircraft?

Well during daylight i run half surfaced at 7.5m depth which makes it possible to dive normally in time to avoid the negativ sideeffects of crash diving. Everything works the same way then std surfaced except it slows me down about 20% and possibly my accustic signature is higher. If im lucky and the planes are not fast fighters im submerged before being spotted. I engage planes only if my position is too far away from any base for fighters to engage me. Those are the only ones i dont dare to fight.

btw. If i need to stay to make sure my victim(s) are really sinking i do this at periscope depth cause the captain of the ship will call for assistance by radio. If he is in range of an airbase 15-20 min later planes are showing up and looking for me if its during daylight and the wheather permits it.
