how do you even see airplanes?

You want reduced traffic from whatever mod. You will run into planes, more with RSRD, but on a realistic level. Cutting all planes out is just making an arcade game of it....but each to it's own.

Regardless, you should't be getting killed by them, even without radar a crew warning gives me enough time to dive early war.

Planes can be a clue to when a TF is near. When I see a lot of planes, I'll take over sonar. To me it's a bug, but I can hear contacts almost twice as far as the sonarman will pick them up.

I had 8 planes show up on radar, but just plane contacts. I dived and took sonar and faintly heard many ships. I head near to that bearing and in time I found a large carrier TF. If I wouldn't have listened I would've kept going in the wrong direction and missed out.
