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?

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....
