There has to be a way to code in, that if a bomber doesn't either receive land successfully message or you've been killed by messages that they get no perk for the sortie.

  Trust me, those morons don't care about the points or perks. The -only- way to "fix" it is to auto-repair any damage they
might do on a drop as soon as they bail with no damage; and that ain't gonna happen.
  Getting the "proxies" on 'em is no consolation at all. The frustration is the time and patience involved in
tracking them only to have 'em vanish in front of your eyes. Those guys are laughin' their collective butts off
to their squaddies right after they do it, too.
  Some Rooks that've been around long enough do something similar. They'll bomb a place, then bail to grab a bus
or a jabo, etc...
  Maybe a "you can't fly anything for a half hour if you bail with no damage" line of code might help out. :)

this reminds me. do torpedos still run if you bail from the bomber/PT? i believe they dont nor do bombs still fall if the pilot bails. this cuts down on the dweebness also

They do. They will only disappear when you start another sortie.

We had much more, dozens of PT's spawning, launching torps, spawning again ect.
Today, it's mostly rockets, so that they can respawn quickly

Let's put it this way, in lieu of Luche... You might see 6-7 PT's spawn after a carrier sinks now. But back in the day, just about every particpant/upper in that CV furball would bring out a PT at least once.

At least, that's the way I remember it.
