Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the AA fire control for any submarine guns was rudimentary, at best. They wanted these guns for destroying merchant shipping, small patrol boats and such. I wouldn't expect much from your heavy deck guns in the AA department. The best defense against aircraft was to dive deep.

If you must fight planes, use your light AA.



P.S. Welcome aboard!
