  The problem of aircraft needing to search for localized subs
before they'll drop weapons is the 'inverse' of what I had
mentioned before about weapon capabilities.  Try ordering the
planes to fly to the location of the sub by setting a path, and
then order them to drop weapons.
  The lack of intelligence in the aircraft is a problem, but it
is also a problem that the torpedoes dropped from those aircraft
could be deployed several miles away from the target (in real life
these could never hit) and they'll run straight for the sub.
