Do you mean anti-sub warfare?

If so I believe you can't sink submerged subs, there was a topic on this recently in General Discussion.

I don't think some of the planes used for anti-sub warfare are flyable (at least without mods) like the Catalina.

If the sub is submerged you can sink it, but it requires you doing the same amount of damage as is necessary to sink a surfaced submarine. This doesn't sound so hard until you realise that the target is effectively just the periscope. Any munition or blast effect that doesn't hit the periscope is considered a miss.

It takes an unrealistically large bomb and a VERY accurate hit to kill a submerged sub...you cant skip bomb a periscope!The most likely scenario I have used is flying the modded B24 in a RAF coastal command skin attacking a Milch Kuh (Milk Cow refuelling sub )with one or two ,maybe even three subs 'parked' around it .Unfortunately the defensive aa fire is savage ...The 16x500lb loadout will take out 8 surfaced subs potentially but I dont know would it be possible to even get one submerged one.I needed minimum SC1800(kg) to sink a submerged sub
