aircraft spotted, who cares

I was cruising around the Java Sea at periscope depth in my S-tub in the daytime, and I guess a plane found me anyway, and blasted me. I was able to surface, but the prop shafts were gone, so I had to scuttle the boat and swim to captivity.

I keep on the surface until the plane is 5 miles out and submerge in a leisurely manner until they pass. In practice I dive to 100' for four minutes, come to radar depth to check out the situation, if the plane is now moving away (it is), I surface and continue on my way. I never see planes. I detect them on radar.

It's very important that they don't see you or they call in their buddies and have a party at your expense.

ha yeah i get all the, just dive and pretend it realistic stuff, but why would a plane pass within 200 metres and just fly on?

im lookin upon this as constructive comment, have any of u mod gods worked on the aircraft AI? its not a major gripe but u have to admit it it a little weird!

To be fair, I've had some weird stuff with planes sometimes. I test a mod with planes that attack, and bomb the poop out of me, then load up a campaign, and have every single plane fly past without blinking.

Dunno.

I have the exact opposite problem. Ive noticed post patch, that the planes are able to see alot deeper then i had originally set them to. Only reason i didnt adjust it, is the radius of their ablity to see submerged objects *feels* relatively small when you take their speed into account.

I haven't played for real since 1.4, all i've done is test. If there is a mission that requires that I maneuver the boat to "catch" DCs I'm yer man. Sinking stuff, evading planes? LOL.

Sigh.

so basically there aint any answer for it then! arent there files that affect if a plane flies within a certain distance, depending on the environment they will react? surely within 200 metres any plane should at least react right?
