Late-war tactics

So when, generally, should I surface, and when should I snorkel? Also, what are some of the aircraft hotspots? I ask this because I've only encountered one plane in all my careers.

Going at >256TC will mean you will probably meet no to very little aircarft.If you're \using a major-mod,in the upper left corner of the screen in the nav-map screen ,you will have some more maps.One of them hasa green-yelowish kind of edge.Pull it down,and you will se convoy routes,single merchant routes and aircarft coverage zones.Generally ,all the "hot-spots" are situated within those circles,near ports.So be carefull in that area .

An good tactic is too stay Submerged deep like 50 meters or something like that
and go Slow. and at night use the snorkel to recharge less chance to meet airplanes.

The Azores is one of the Hotspots for Aircraft especiall in 44 there's a big massive british airbase in the DH grid they bay of biscay and anywhere near land you will attract planes,and the BE grid is another place you will encounter aircraft.
