Thanks dark knight and jacobston for your replies - very useful indeed!
Seems like since it is only 1939 in my naval career, I might try the "shoot the incoming plane then dive" strategy. I do have a qualified flak gunner, and in any case those AI flak gunners are way better than I am myself (as opposed to deck gun which I usually fire myself unless I'm maneuvering).

Glad you did those timing experiments alredy, jacobston - that would have been next on my list. I had the feeling that diving took more like half a minute and not 1-2 minutes when going at 1/3 ahead and then doing a "crash dive".

So now that I have a plan A and a plan B I feel much more comfortable with staying on the surface when the "plane spotted" message arrives ...
