Yes I found this out last night, a plane found me on my 4th patrol en-route to intercept a contact. For some reason I decided to stand my ground and man the flak gun but that didn't go too well. Gunner got the plane alright as it was burning but it still managed to make a pass and drop a bomb practically on deck. Everything was damaged and the hull integrity was at 20%, I lost a third of my diesel in a few seconds. Somehow the plane was still flying and coming for another pass so I panicked and hit the crash dive button, hull popped at 30m. Thus ends U-03
