Was it common?
Should it be included in the game (if it was an issue in wwII)?

I'm sure it happened, but it's not as I can only think of one well documented instance. That was immediately after Pearl Harbor. I think a few Wildcats were shot down because everyone at Pearl was trigger happy.

Overall, I think the most likely cases would occur when the other side has air superiority or supremacy. Gunners would expect most things flying would belong to the other side and fire with a little less restraint.
