Ever been hit by a crashing aircraft?

[jgbishop]

Has anyone here ever been hit by an aircraft shot-down by your crew (where the wreckage actually hits your ship)? I've had a few close calls, but I've never been hit. I'm just wondering if it's possible (I assume it is).

I think someone posted here that they got hit and some damage to the sub. Me? I dodge.:yep:

If you look in the Kamikaze 1945 thread, we discuss this topic. I have had wreckage hit my boat without any damage, but others have taken damage from intact, but damaged aircraft.

Yes several times in fact. Never a pretty outcome.

Then I learned to avoid conflagrations with the winged ones. :know:

I was once hit by a crashing H6K, did me 2 hull damage I think and slightly wounded my deck watch. But that was it. They should do a lot more damage; IRL a kamikaze hit was enough to put most ships out of action for months.

Been hit a couple of times, once had no damage despite a direct hit, another time it was davey jonse for me!

In real life a sub wouldn't survive, some destroyers couldn't survive one hit, and they're bigger than subs!

One went down right infront of me, but all I got was a lousy wet t-shirt :lol:

Aside from when the enemy planes hit eachother, a lot of this is from planes hitting the water surface while attemping a non-level bombing run. The upcoming 'Air Layer' MOD will address this. Planes may still collide with eachother, but will rarely collide with the water surface.

Went out on my third patrol and was sunken by a crashing American torpedo bomber
