They do or fly home. They are already under the rule. Bombers should do the same.
The fighter bails, it is a kill for the bomber. If he flies home, it's not.
normally I do not bail at the sight of fighters, unless it is to take advantage of the situation. for example, once i flew low with no bombers over a port that was being attacked, had already sunk the cv and we had taken the port but they were trying to take it back. all the dorks in fighters followed me and forgot about the goon. we killed the goon easily. had little ammo by then as I had been attacked by a figher so I dragged the fighters away, cv respawned, i bailed came back in fighter and we killed them.
sometimes I will hit strats and facing 45 minutes flight back, i"ll bail. now having a darbar in the sector doesnt mean it is a fighter as many times I just found a bomber taking off to hit our strats. so I'll bail and go find the bomber or give alert and somebody else intercepts 1/2 way.
some other times I just got hit hard by ack, I am too damaged and have no patience for a fighter to get in a position to attack. once I waited 30 minutes till he had 10k over me. saw him dive and bailed. that was because I was talking to my wife, i didnt expect to find my bombers up in the air while I was gone. otherwise I would have bailed before.
I sank the same cv 6 or 7 times last night with fighters around, they were too busy climbing while I dropped bombs and rtb. my base was only 1 sector away. you think they would have just, I dont know meet me 1/2 way? not like I was at 20k, i was 6k max everytime.
so no, excuse if I dont cry for you argentina, guys in fighters want to attack bombers on their terms, I have the option to fight on my terms. which includes not fighting at all. you think those guys over the cv had that choice?
and by the way, bombers already have extra perks for landing. you dont land either by getting shot down or bailing dont get full perks. that's how it is.
and before you even question that, be aware, unless I already have altitude I wont take 10 or 20 minitues to climb if I am at the same altitude. i get behind bombers slow down to match their speed and shoot from 1k out. killed many that way. I get shot down a lot but I am not afraid of it.
once more thing if you bother to look at the map every 5 or 10 minutes you will know if there's a strat raider or not. they take off from rear bases. your lack of planing is not my concern. it takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to your strats, unless you are in a really small map.
