Has anyone else lost their command due to a kamakazi attack?

Twice now in consecutive careers (I only save when I stop playing...not during a career). Argh.

I do enjoy shooting down the enemy planes (and DO have a modded AA gun...same power but lots more ammo.

Really dismayed with the last one though...had a superb patrol, stumbled across a TF of 2x Yamato, 2X Ise and 1X Kongo(?) BB in paired line astern formation. I was somehow perfectly 90 degress from them, at less than 1 NM...couldn't miss! Sunk both the Yamato's with 3 torps each, Sunk an Ise with 3x torps and stopped the Kongo with the last torp. That was it for my torps. Can't take out a BB with the deck gun! Apart from the AA ammo, was at 100% (using FTT Mod - damn good).

Then on my way home, had the usual rain of planes. Was getting out into the pacific, and one floatplane was shot down from quite a way away, but kept comin and comin...and the bugger dove straight into me with a full load of bombs. Don't know if it was the bombs going off, but had catastrophic damage across the board. Sub didnt sink, but was destroyed anyway. Bugger!

ps...not a gripe,rant or anything like that...frustrating but kind of enjoyable!

Edit: Cakewalk...crew had bailed, so technicaly NOT a Kamakazi attack....but it DID make for a great explosion!
