This is true if you can hit him enough. The suck-tacular ROF of the flak gun and the low magazine capacity and its comparatively long reload time should be more than enough convincing to order Alarmtauchen the second you confirm his presence. Like everyone else has said, if it is too late to go deep, all you can do is maneuver like mad. As nasty as planes are, they are just as vulnerable to missing with its payload as a sub when faced by abrupt zig-zagging and speed changes. Not as effective as when a merchant does it to a sub, but it is a lot better than trying to duke it out with a pea shooter.
