They bomb and bail because they don't care about "combat". They got their bombs to target and so the mission is done. Not everyone plays this game for the combat.
So now we don't bother to chase buffs because they most likely will bail. We don't chase ponies and p47s because they are most likely heavy and are on their lawndart mission.
We don't up to defend against hordes because most can't survive in these odds, so what the point.
It seems like the combat aspect of this game is slowly disappearing.
