Bombers running amuck....

[Knarley-Bob]

Battle of Stalingrad

29.8.42

Bomber escort mission

I./JG3 escort

HE 111 H-6s

Flaps down, flying at aprox 30* angle, wallowing thru air as if real tail heavy or slow. Paid no attention to flight plan. Some dropped bombs ,others turned around and wandered off.

Fighters flew around together, confused as everyone else seemed to be.

Same thing happened to me trying to do a pilot career with the Hs129. Bomber and GA missions are unplayable. The flight will do just as you described and will circle around the rendezvous point, fly at stall speed or collide with eachother. How this hasn't been addressed with a hotfix after all this time is extremely displeasing. It seems this all started with the update that brought the flyable C-47 in and the devs just said "Yep, perfect! No need for a quick patch."

This seems to be acknowledged as an issue after several recent reports; so, I assume a fix is in the works.
