Trying to explain the AI's lack of defensive maneuvers due to imaginary situations like-- Well... the AI pilots were nervous rookie pilots, or wounded, or not checking their six, or are in a state of shock, etc.. is not fun.



Someone smarter than me can confirm or deny if what I am about to say is historically true or not, but it's my understanding that the bombers were under orders to hold formation, no matter what, by the high command. They felt, evidently, that safety in numbers was the best bet for the flight and that's why the AI is coded that way. Again, if I'm wrong on this, someone please correct me.


I think you are correct in this....
