Since posts dont show up in the bug forum, I thought I'd post this small bug report here.
When the lead plane of a buff formation gets hit in the engines and the engines start, for example, losing oil, and you bail after that, the damage is transferred to the plane you jump to. Example: a Niki damaged my engine 2 and 3 oil, and lotsa other things so I had to bail and go to the next bomber. The niki is killed and I fly on... when suddenly engine 2 fails, for no reason... the damage list is all green... and then engine 3 fails too.
Quite annoying to crash in an otherwise perfectly good plane.
