That is why, they will shoot at you, instead of the enemy tanks, when you are flying too close to them. But that's a game, after all.
Ah, thanks for the info. Could this be changed maybe in future?

I don't remember such happenings in Il-2... AFAIR all tank gun hits in Il-2 are explosive on planes.
