Things about the strike, that are worthy of note:

Payload: The combined payload of the three bombers has enough power to completely destroy a well built 3.5 million toughness ship, more than 4 times.

Defenses: A single, lone, rogue capital ship, the Megalodon has no secondary armament, or AA guns, or missiles.

Not only is it virtually impossible for you to have time to target the planes before they bomb you. But also.. Guns are incapable of shooting directly above themselves. While it is tempting to say the side mounted guns could target the planes, you previously said they were pointed down so they could fire both forward and back. So, it's impossible... Twice that you could even target the planes.

It's also highly unlikely that even were you able to target the planes that guns the size of 2040's could successfully shoot down the fastest known flying vessel in existence.

Another note about the payload... The figures listed are vastly lower than their actual power, because they account for the mines relative lack of significant splash damage. Unfortunately for you. The megalodon distributes all damage evenly over the shield, so the bombs would do their full potential damage until the shield was down. (That damage by the way, is ridiculously high).

The moral of the story... You determine the damage.
