DGen has always managed to goof up at least one thing per mission, such as bomber escort mission having enemy fighters start behind bombers, while player starts on ground, and having player fly through the worst AAA zones on a patrol flight.
Was the damaged B5N the formation leader? I've noticed that other planes in the formation might follow their leader even if the leader's engines are dead! That way, it appears that the B5N is indeed flying in a formation with no problems.
For F4U landings, it may be a good idea to record tracks when practicing, so once you get a good landing, you can view the track carefully to see what your speed, sink rate and so on were, and on a failed attempt, you can see what went wrong. Avoid taking 100% fuel - took me a while to figure this out when I was practicing.
F4U has a big hook. I find Zero landings much more difficult. When Zero bounces, it easily glides over all the remaining wires.
