I was looking at someone's web page, and I ran across this:
"Bomber Kill Order
Right drone, left drone, lead (center)"
I have seen something similar before. What is the reasoning for this?
Second question: I am often in the position of trying to hit a bomber group on its final approach to the target. I usually try to hit the lead bomber in the hopes that I can mess up his aim. Am I correct that shooting down the lead bomber can mess up the alignment on the target?

Ive wondered the same about attacking the lead bomber, i try to take the wing off so it at least tumbles and forces him to bail rather than appearing in the number 2 plane instantly.

The theory behind right-left-center I believe was related to they wouldn't change position in their formation, so they wouldn't warp as much.
I don't find much of an issue with that, and if I'm doing the stupid dead-six suicide charge with a heavy cannon plane, I like to shoot the left one and then switch to the lead. That way the right one moves across my sight behind the lead and hopefully I can spray them both down.
I've heard rumors shooting the lead messes with calibration, but have never confirmed it. Are we talking a slightly different airspeed when you switch to the drone, like by <5mph?

No, I'm thinking more that the drones have to change position when one of them becomes lead.
