The Brits have humbled me!

Aug 1943 just finished fully upgrading my VIIC/4 Flak Uboat - top speed 20knots, packed with AA guns, latest radar, sonar, coating, snorkel this is one mean machine ready to show the Brits i mean trouble!

So I request for a transfer to Bergen, my main objective is i want to patrol the AN area. In a previous patrol i enabled the Spy_Sat mod and notice in the AN area there is a Taskforce and a few convoys travelling up and down hugging the english coast. EASY PICKINGS I THOUGHT!. Using the stock game, it wont be easy getting there i expect alot of aircraft attacks, but i know my boat is ready for heavy action, my crew are all practically 5star generals, we are the best of the best.
Aug24th 2am, U775 sets sail on her secret mission. We reach AN41 to make our first contact, 2 cargoes C2 & C3 lurking in the fog travelling at 5 knots they must feel safe here, no uboat would hunt in brit infested waters. Well U775 just ruined there holiday. Down they went, it was like a scene from das boot when they attack the convoy, minutes later a destroyer turns up from nowhere, I ordered periscope depth & head straight for her, shes not zig zaging, so its a down the throat shot and down she went in a blaze of glory. We surface and make way for the coast in search of the taskforce. This is gonna be easy.
Then straight after the destroyer was sunk, somehow it must of woken the entire allied WW2 airforce. They just kept coming and coming, sunderlands, bombers, hurricanes, i stayed on the surface and fought the first group off, and the next and the next zigzaging all the way flank speed 20knots, wave after wave after wave and what seemed hr after hr - U775 shot down 13 aircraft and counting yet i must of made only 5 -6 kms during that time. No point in diving using snorkel as they still found me within minutes the snorkel was up & lightly damaging my AA guns. I surface to repair, and fought on the surface again.
The VIIC/4 Flak Uboat ( i dont know if thats the correct name) is capable of surving on the surface during aircraft attacks, why dive when your boat is rigged out like a mini fortress. This she can handle from what ive just experience. But the problem is i made no gain in mileage i couldn't get anywhere near the coast i didn't even leave grid AN41!! it was impossble. I just spent what seemed like hours fighting aircraft. In the end i decided to return to base still fighting off aircaft most of the way, last attack was within 30km from Bergen!
What a humble experience

With tail between the legs, i am now searching for a mod that will give me less aircraft for the stock game. I aint giving up yet on sinking that taskforce.

If im right gizzmoe made a less aircraft mod once?
