From what I have seen in the game, and what others have posted, it seems they can see you at PS depth almost as if you are on the surface, or they have a amazing clairvoyant ability to fly right over you, when probibilities suggest otherwise.

Keep in mind it is a game, and all games have limitations. Unless it's told otherwise, the bit running the plane could see you bottoming out in the Marianas Trench while flying around on the moon. That being said, as I recall TMO was actually modded so the planes could see through the water. I seem to recall the creator saying that he had to actually set the plane's sight to react to thermal layers just so the planes wouldn't see you no matter what. I've experienced this first-hand. I've also experienced a plane flying right over my Air Search Radar mast while I'm at periscope depth in RSRD without them spotting me. So if I had to wager a guess, I'm betting the issue is probably based upon the RFB mod changing the aircraft's sight capabilities without the program having a probability roller in place to check if the airplane actually sees you. So because the plane can "see" through water without the program running, for lack of a better term, a "dice roll" to see if the plane will act on that information, you end up with clairvoyant aircraft. There's probably not a lot you can do about it.
