Well yes, eventually.
To be frank, i knew I was hit, but I did not se the extent of the damage. The plane was not flying "as usual" but it was flying. It went down, I recovered and then I turned around for a second pass. I was in an attack mode grinning my teeth and preparing to kick ass, when I saw that I'm oveshoting the airfield, turned left to hard which resulted in a crash.
This thing is undestructible. Had I realised a full extend of a damage immediately after the hit, I think I had a fair chance to nurse it home and maybe land/ditch.
