What a bunch of popsicle whiners.
there's more than one report of top turret gunners contining to fire from ditched buffs (check out your Ploesti books and links).
If you go straffing a vehicle containing several tons of avgas (never mind the bombs)you can expect it to go "Boom!" in a satisfying manner. Don't stand next to it, nor order your drunks to do so.
Several RAF installations were completly disabled by straffing during the BoB, luckily they were buff fields (Brize Norton springs to mind as a good example).
Do your job properly. Want to take a base? Flatten it first.
Practise more, whine less.
