High command decided at various times in the war that u-boats should fight it out
on the surface near port. Even with large groups of u-boats and u-flaks it was a
total disaster.

The order to fight it out when following a convoy was also dropped after numerous
sinking.

Its prove for many times...the U-boat in the surface against a plane dont have the any chance, its beter to dive to avoid heavy damage and compromise the mission and your war patrol!
