I didn't really see anything that mattered much, I mean, is it really bad to lose your drones if your landing? they aren't going to follow if you rearm. I suppose if there was an enemy nearby and he got the proxy kills it might be an annoyance. Strange how far apart they went anyhow.

Probably not, but I have yet to see if drone death of this type effect your score. I know the normal loss of a drone counts as a death in the bomber catagory.

If your into scores, then yea, I think its a problem.

BTW, to me, the bug looks like the code gets into a staled flight condition, and doesn't know how to correct itself.

Since the drones don't break formation untill the gear goes down, and in this case I was already low and slow, with two notches of flaps, when the drones broke formation, they HAD to go into a stall while banking so hard, yes?

Couldnt get the video to load up but ....

I have experienced drones just cruising on at altitude as you land...no longer are the days of them following you down on a profile or selecting their own landing.

The only ones I got to do so were some JU88's last night.

maybe there is a bug?

Yes probably a stall, the only people who should/would have a problem with this like you said, are the people who are into scores. I think Hitech said bomber drone problems would be fixed sometime in the future though, he doesn't want to do it right now.

Last few times I tried to land buffs, I landed and they flew off into the sunset.
