The same thing applies if an airfield is under attack by enemy planes.

Historically, if they had to, planes would try to land in spite of the bombardment. Otherwise, they'd divert to another airfield or wait until the bombardment was over.

AI planes could be warned to divert or delay landing if the game registers damage to objects on or near the airfield where they were going to land.

Damaged AI planes would still go straight in for landing, regardless of whether the airfield was under attack.

This is another excellent idea. Currrently, if a lead bomber in formation is damaged, the rest of the planes in the formation will follow it until it is destroyed or the crew bails out. In a few cases, I've seen formations of bombers follow a mortally wounded leader almost down to the ground.

Realistically, if the lead bomber can't hold speed or altitude, it should drop out of formation and leadership of the remaining planes in the formation should pass to the #2 plane in the formation.

Players should also have the option of passing off command of a formation to an AI plane, or taking over command of a formation if they have sufficient rank.
