Air support dose come out but I have no idea if they will go that far.

To have any chance of help from air or surface forces you have to be within visual range of 2/3 vessels (don't remember the precise number without digging into files) at the time of sending the report.

Said help must be within their combat radius/range to comply and even after that the game engine throws an imaginery dice to decide on the final response or non response factor.

My advice would be never to become dependant on help arriving.

Besides, you don't want the Luftwaffe coming out and stealing the ships you want to sink. They sink em, you get no credit for the tonnage.

True but every now and then it's fun to watch.

Especially when the one they sink is the one that was about to sink you.
