aircrafts detect submarines, bug?

I don't remember this 'bug' ever being reported.
Considering 'realism' it might be a feature since planes were very effective against subs. But then the documentation of submarine should be "visible only to adjacent air units"
Considering game balance: AI tends to be unaware of stealth (submarines and stealth aircraft) so those features are overpowered against them. Against humans I think submarine is not worthwhile in both cases, since a detecting unit is easily developed and an investment in research and production cost needed. Considering this, I think balance would be better if subs are less easily detected, i.e. if the current code is considered a bug.
Note that then the documentation of spy plane is incorrect (assuming such a plane would detect submarines), since sub detecting ability is not mentioned.

Considering all this, I assume Steffen considers it a feature; but only one person knows for sure ;-)
