oh #$&# idea... well.. hard to reproduce this one...
but flying an ME 262 in IL2 46, I strafed a B17, ducked under it..
and was blown up by the B17 dumping thier bomb load.
The explosion also destroyed the B17.
Had to go back and look at the NTRK to see what happened.. as I saw nothing but my plane exploding as I went under the bomber.
More general idea... flying escort etc.. having to stick around and protect downed pilot/crewmen, or damaged/evacuating ships from attack until friendly ground/naval/PBY forces reach the unit in question.
