Dunno if it was reported before but here it is anyway.

- build Atlantis
- submerge
- start building some aircraft (build something like a Broadsword for it to take years to build. Prolong your enjoyment )
- attract the attention of, let's say, a pack of gunships
- watch them try to shoot the aircraft your are building inside Atlantis with no way to deal damage to both Atlantis and aircraft being built

Yeah, it's a known and annoying bug. Your carries will get "shot down" by ASFs. >_<

Think of it as a lure with AA to take out enemy air superiority.

Thats a quite bad exploit. If you start building strategic bomber all enemy fighters will auto target it and leave your fighters free to kill them with 0 losses.

Does that mean ASFs can shoot at normal carriers while they're building?

Interceptors as well. I think Broadswords use their AA guns on them as well.
