Default Jap planes destroying themselves!

I just got through playing a patrol. I had started a new campaign, and am using RSRDC and my Pre Pearl Harbor mod out of Manila. I completely forgot to install the air radar, so I only had my watch personnel for warning. I'd crash dive whenever they'd spot a plane, but because they were usually very close by then, I'd always get attacked. So I'd use the external camera to watch it until I'd fully submerged.

Not once, but twice a Betty bomber dropped depth charges, but seemed to be so low that they were caught in their own blast wave, would seem to bounce, then spin out of control and crash into the sea! I've never seen that before, and none of the other plane types I encountered did it. Weird.

And no, I didn't get credit for either kill.
