Was sneaking away from a destroyer once (cant remember which) when a friendly FW-190 (?) came to the rescue and buzzed it, trying to get a clear bombing run on it. I cheered it on for a while, but the dd opened up with flak and after a few passes took it down.

Took the heat off me though, so I quitely thanked the Luftwaffe and slunk away.

So, yes, they will shoot AA.
