It's worth noting that this is exactly what US subs in the Pacific did. The Japanese had so many island bases and seaplane tenders and escort carriers, aircraft were a constant danger. I usually play Asiatic Fleet campaigns, and there was a standing order until the fleet dissolved that subs should submerge during daylight if they were within 500nm or so of a Japanese air base. Like KaleunMarco says, the key is to not be detected at all. If I'm north of Bali and west of Wake, I'll do the whole submerge-in-the-daytime drill every day. Yes, it slows down your travel, but it feels right, and it definitely helps with the aircraft detection issue. |
