This kind of behaviour was historically possible- eg 501 Sqn had 4 ac shot down in a couple of minutes by 1 member of JG26, but the 'RTB dummies' are a bit too dumb for my liking.

Thanks for the links. Just had another experience today that falls under the thread I started. I received a mission to escort a group of wellingtons into occupied France. After getting them all the way to target and back unscathed, I was just about to pat myself on the back and head home when one of the bofors at the bombers home airfield opened up on the group. Taking out an engine on one of the bombers while it was configured for landing, didn't end well for it. I watched helplessly as it rolled over into the ground and turned into a fireball. As an extra special kick in the teeth I get a "mission failed" message after the event. So my question again is this a known bug or intentional(e.g. trigger happy new guy on the cannon)?
