Tunes has done this for ages. He takes off 3 (now 4 apparently) sets of bombers for a target scattered. He leaves them and sets them in order to reach the target staggered. Then he bombs lead, ejects. Bombs second, ejects. Bombs third, ejects, and now with a fourth (news to me) I'm guessing he bombs the fourth and ejects.
He's all the same guy. I don't care if he's put his clones in a squad, that's just more lameness.
All same guy, but I and others have tried to cover his planes on their way out from target so he can try and land his kills.
He does not automatically bail on his runs, so posting that is definitely incorrect. He tends to run Lancs often, and his flights get shot down more than anything.
Quick look at scores from tour 86 for tunes 1-4 combined:
Kills...........167
Assists........13
Sorties.....1877
Landed.....262 - 14%
Bail...........727
Ditch...........23
Captured....177
Death.......668 - 36%
Disco..........12
Bombers rank between 271 and 368 --- so he hits his targets.
Now, there are a number of bails there.... damaged airplanes (Lancs have weak defense), jump to another, no opposition, trying to get back in the air faster to support squadron operations elsewhere on the map. Many reasons.
Even so, the argument has been made elsewhere that buff drivers really don't need perk points. Most don't fly the Arado. Why bother running a bomber all the way back to land unless you've kills to land, when you can bail and get back into the air all that much faster? No worse than most activities found in the game.
