Yup, whenever I decide to stay and fight instead of diving, I swear about 50% of the time I get hit by the uncanny AI of the planes' dead crew, regardles of my evasive manoevres... Zero's are OK, but I always sink after a Betty decides to use me as a landing strip.

Yep, been hit by a Betty...lost my boat because of the heavy damage...floodying to the engines and took both desiels and electrics out of action...sitting duck...started repairs...couple hours later...

"Aircraft spotted! Aircraft spotted!"

...

Ya...crash dived...to the bottom of the ocean...

And I saw the craziest thing in one of the quick missions. I think it was the Battle off Samar one, with the 4 BBs against the US carriers. well, it was going well and I took a look through the external cam and I saw a US bomber on fire heading very slowly towards one of the BBs...couple seconds later the pilot bailed and the plane crashed into the bridge of the BB...I've heard of Jap Kamikazes...but American?

About 70% percent of the time, they line the plane up with the sub and bail out, I've been sunk many times by kamikaze planes.

If you bail out before your plane hits, it is NOT Kamikaze. You are trying to survive.
You are using your dead plane as a bomb....
