Ground Attack unrealistic for medium bombers

This is a problem for any type of aircraft. The problem is that the AI currently doesn't calculate damage to, or loss of, other aircraft in the flight, nor does it take enemy defenses into account when making attacks of any sort.

Realistically, pilots facing little opposition would loiter over their targets, attacking until they ran out of ammo or had to leave due to fuel or other concerns. But, things were very different if they faced effective AAA or aerial opposition.

Barring improvements to AI behavior, the next best solution would be to allow the mission builder to limit the number attacks a particular plane makes against targets at a particular waypoint.
