On my way home from my patrol I encountered a solo Japanese Zero scout so I decided to see the game mechanics of engaging planes by giving my new 20mm AA gun upgrade a try.

What I found was that the Japanese Zero planes appear to be immortal. As he would approach the gunner would shoot him until flames were coming from the plane. Then it would simply circle back around and engage the sub again but would be magically healed with no fire and no damage.

The plane would get shot up again on fire with flames protruding out of the back and lose altitude, and then would suddenly heal up again, gain altitude, and circle back around.

I watch this occur over 15 attack runs and the plane was never destroyed. It was damaged and on fire but never crashed and was never destroyed.
