I can post some photos of a 151/20 with self destruct if anyone wants to see it.
The typical self destruct consisted of a tracer that burned for a couple seconds and eventually through a small hole into the chamber that held the explosive charge, thus detonating it.
Yeah I looked that up once I saw the video, I actually hadn't seen that or heard of that before, but the idea didn't surprise me. Set probably deflection and if you could time the explosive on impact it would probably do the most damage.

First time I've seen it in a sim, looks great!
