Yes I have that mod. Still no attacks.

What do the planes do? Do they fly directly over you? Does this apply to all planes?

Now there are some reasons why they wouldn't attack. A plane will attack ONLY if it has bombs or torpedoes available (there are 'dummy' bombs and torpedoes loaded onto the planes that are invisible). Due to IRAI, planes attack enemy merchants and anything else along with your sub. So it is possible that they attacked a target before you and have no bombs or torpedoes and thus don't attack. I had to make it this way to get them to leave the area when they attack you. If it wasn't like this then they would just sit there pounding the same spot over and over and over.

I see. They pass close to me either long range or medium range. The seem to be tracking me. But I guessed they could still probably see my wakes. I thought that they could still use their machine-guns/cannon on me. But if you say they don't have bombs or torps maybe that's why they won't attack. I figured out when I surfaced attack a merchant they radioed for help and a plane would show up. This is in the Channel.

I can send you a test mission you can use to see that planes do attack. This particular test mission is the nasty one where it's a torpedo bomber that drops down to just barely above the water and launches the torp at you from close distance.
