Which areas though? The good SH3 mods tried to reflect ever increasing aircraft ranges..available land bases and CVE hunter killer groups. We could mod the "reverse" for SH4...near Japan should always be dangerous though.

This is the way it works for me in SH4. If I'm in the Luzon there are a lot of planes. In the Celebes Sea, not to many. If a taskforce is around I get a lot of aircraft. When I come out of Midway after fueling I see aircraft but not to many and more as I reach the coast of Japan. I do submerge after 0800 or when the first aircraft is spotted and I stay down until dark. I do not have night attacks.

I haven't had much game time so this is just speculation.

From the above comments, I wonder if the number of aircraft depends on the AI knowing the area the sub is operating. That is before being sighted, aircraft fits normal air activity for nearby bases. After being sighted, the AI throws a lot more into your area.

I hate this increased airpower mod. How can you guys decreased the number of planes coming to you?

That was one of the discussions on SH3: if you have a plane attacking every hour, it's a high-traffic area; if you have twenty at once, it's unrealistic (unless of course you're in the middle of a carrier air battle).

Check the mods forum, there are supermods there that include fiddling around the parameters controlling airstrikes. My own preference is to knock down the range and the night attack frequency in the airstrike.cfg file under the Data/cfg/ folder.
