B-17 bomber drones

Definitely something amiss here....drones won't stay with bombers even with zero angle of bank and normal climb speed.  The drones seem to just drift lower and lower, finally impacting terrain in level flight with slight nose down angle -----with lead bomber climbing normally.

I experienced the same thing tonight.  No matter what I did the drones ultimately fell away and exploded.
