the problem occurs when we realise that most of the regular players of AH2 have far better aim than their real life counter parts. If you get sprayed at wildly the jug will just soak up the lead with no damage, if you meet someone who can shoot reasonable well, youre going to be hit by a wall of lead or exploding cannon shells and be shot down very quickly. Its all about convergence, steady aim and concentration of fire....in this case (blown up) presumably a concentration of fire into your pilot's head.
