Oh, worth mentioning. This doesn't work if you're playing without map contacts on. In my experience, the best option is:

1: Get Report "Radar Contact Bearing XXX"
2: Immediately order a crash dive
3: Go straight the surface radar screen and check around the reported bearing.
4: If it was a ship, cancel dive and proceed normally. Otherwise, continue evasive action.


I 100% agree that I wish you could just have a standing order to deal with aircraft as well. At least for situations where the aircraft is the only contact. It makes sense to me that a player might want to do something else if also chasing a convoy or something. It's just one of the things in the game that gets really friggin tedious. Sometimes I'm even tempted to go through the campaign files and just remove all the airbases, but that would have unwanted secondary effects so I never actually have.
