My Worst SH3 Moment

IF you want to take on planes its best to let the AI do the shooting for you, hitting planes (by yourself) is tenfold harder in GWX than vanilla. The AI flak gunner can be really good at times and knock planes down when they're still 1000m out. Swordfish are pretty safe to tackle, just need to maneuver away from their bombing run and the gunner will usually dispatch them pretty quickly (also if you keep finding yourself harassed by swordfish that means there's a flat top nearby that is ripe for the picking), most of the long range recon planes go down with a moderate amount of difficulty.

Only reason that should require you to surface in a XXI is if your attack periscope gets damaged, everything else can be accomplished with the snorkel up (unless that's damaged too).
