Yeah, agreed, but the outliers have to be included in the cases that generate the average, which should mean that the mode goes down relative to the mean when the outliers get horrendously better than the mean. When that doesn't happen, you get a broken sim, as this one is in this aspect.

I believe that the fighters score a lot better than they ought to, and the bombers do too, the bomber gunners are more obviously wrong but both need fixing. A lot more hits ought to do insignificant damage on both sides, pilot kills at 500 metres ought to be a rare event, not one flight in twenty. A machine gun is effectively a very large bore slow acting shotgun, it's not like a rifle at all, even if it fires rifle calibre bullets, but the AI bomber gunners get results snipers would be proud of.
