I was wondering if you'd get to the AA test in GWX. That's quite an eye opener, huh?
One of the things that GWX does to make the game more realistic is up the ante considerably when it comes to enemy aircraft. In RL they were a u-boat's worst nightmare, and there's no way a u-boat could've successfully fended off that many attacking aircraft. The AA training mission was made much more difficult to prepare you for the reality you'd be facing in real combat.
It's not impossible to shoot one down, or even two or three early in the war, depending on what type of plane it is and what weapons it has at its disposal... and how organized their attack plan is. And provided you are alerted to their presence in time. At least in the game, it can be done.
But most folks will tell you that the smartest thing to do when an enemy aircraft is around is dive as quickly as possible and hope they didn't spot you. Expecially as the war progresses and they are more likely to be equipped with radar and hunting you on purpose. By then they will know where you are long before you can see them coming, and when the come they will do so with both barrels blazin', so to speak.
