Nope, Göring farted and lit a cigar at the same moment. The problem is that Göring is never responsible for any damage so you were chosen to be the bad guy.
BTW the certain Erich H. also had to crashland several times because his plane got hit by debris from his victims. And the Hurri has a nasty tendency to explode after being hit by cannonshells.

@Oberon

May I ask how old your computer is? When I look at your screenshots it seems you are running Il2 at very low settings. In case your rig isn't at least five years old maybe we can do something about your graphics quality by adjusting your conf.ini .
With better vision you also have a better chance of seeing the enemy. (although I have to confess that rammed several bombers at high altitudes too just before we started the campaign and that wasn't a matter of vision.... Hunter didn't know anymore whether he should laugh or cry when he heard in the TS that I had rammed yet another bomber...)
It's not that old, but I think the graphics card lets it down, let me get a report:
