The tactics in this game will never be the same as WW2, If a Lanc gets anywhere near an nme base below 5000ft, then you must not control the airspace, hence you will be bombed by low buffs {not trying to be a jerk just comes naturaly}, but even if you remove the drone option its still not gonna stop it, even if you make it where any negative angle more than 15 degrees wont let buff drop ord, your still gona see guys boring in from 5k, and dropping lvl....
Ploesti B24 raid was more of an inteligence failure than a tactical one, I read that prior to launching raids allied command was issuing bullitins to anti air artillery that a forthcoming raid of B24's would be launching, hence tipping the germans off via radio {in the clear no less!}, Plus the pilots as I recall had minimal low level navigation experience, and many of the flights where missing the target or dropping on parts of the oil field that had allready been hit,,bad luck all around,
