The 88mm gun was created as an AA gun- later it was turned into anti-armor gun.

1 shell should smash any bomber (when hit)...

The Problem is...well, to hit. It's Nearly Impossible without Explosive AA Ammo. And that you don't have in Silent Hunter 3, not for the Deck Gun...i think.

And i believe that the 88 that was on u-boats was unrelated to the 88 used in AA/AT roles

I´ve also heard that the 88 used in the land forces were different than the kriegsmarine 88. Havent even tried to shoot down a plane with it, but IIRC one real life kaleun shot down plane with it.
