Well that may have been in real life but I've had a few close calls with aircraft taking a bombing run on my sub in vanilla and RFB. I remember one Zero made a couple of passes while I tried to fight him off with my AA guns (vanilla with RSRD) before I decided to pull the plug. Crash dive and barely made it beyond periscope depth before I heard an explosion above me. Flicked over to external cam and I saw the foam from a group of bombs that would have nailed me had I been on the surface.
