I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if the carrier you sunk or one of it's sisters is spawning all these planes. Sometimes they keep spawning long after the carrier has departed.

I wish there was a better way of representing aircraft in the game than 'spawning'. However tracking each individual patrol plane and air squadron on their daily flights and routines would probably slow the game to a crawl.

The technical challenges of creating a more realistic 'feel' in the air layer are significant. At the moment there is only one MOD in the pipeline working on this, BUT there are some excellent MOD's that tackle this to a good level of success.

One is the RSRD (Run Silent Run Deep) MOD by Lurker. TM (Trigger Maru) by Ducimus also has some work in this area. RFB (Real Fleet Boat) may have tackled some of this also, best to check their threads.

All of the above are in the MODS Workshop area of these forums.

This is one of the unrealistic aspects of SH4. Spawning planes at that interval is not possible. Yes, if you sink an enemy all assets will try to search you out. I'm using TM and RFB (multiple installs of the sim) at the moment and night strikes early in the war was there. So, I can advise you to get the Airstrike Mod and use it until Ducimus corrects it. There was no problem with this spawning in RFB though.
