You've been lucky then Muck. When I attack bombers, it's almost always the same outcome.
If I hit the drones with somewhere between 30 and 60 .50 MG rounds and they explode.
If I shoot the tail off the leader (the one with the icon) then all 3 bombers loose their tail.
The other day, I shot down a LANC by shooting the horizontal stabs off the leader, and never even fired a shot at the other 2. Just my luck, all 3 bombers blew up within 5 seconds.
A few days before that, I blew the entire wing off a B17 drone with less than 30 rounds .50MG. I went back around and killed the remaining 2 B17s with another 100 rounds. And I knew they were not previously damaged, because I watched them takeoff.
AH bomber damage model is in dire need of another overhaul as is AH MA Strat. Until both are done, I think we will see a continuance of the current pork and auger suicide JaBo field gang bang vulch and capture mentality. There is nothing else to play for.
