Regarding AI bombers.

Some observations - since I resumed my online adventures couple of years ago.
- B-17, B-25, He 111, SB hold formations quite well. Slightly damaged bomber still stays in. Quite a task to break a formation without large calibre cannons.
- Blenheims and Beauforts keep well in pairs, but not in a group of 3 or 4.
- B-25 formation of 4 can be broken (occasionally) by flying through it without firing a single shot. Leader turns left, wingmen turns right, etc. Yet to see the same with other types.
- I have not seen AI bomber aerobatics for long time.
(But I see it offline, B-29 and TB-3 are most notorious).
