Lead B17 bomber disengages

[Gunfreak]

So I made a 36 B17 bomber formation, and tested it alone with just those aircraft, and the do what they should, and bomb as they should.

 

But now that the mission is finished with AAA on the ground and fighters in the air, the lead group of 3, suddenly just dives away almost like a Stuka, and then flies somewhere else.  It would only be a small annoyance to lose those 3 aircraft, however since it's the lead group, the other bombers fly over the target but won't drop the bombs. 

I've tried to turn the turbulence off, I've tried to make it have no reaction to threats. it still happens. It's not under attack when it happens, and it seems to happen at exactly the same place each time(and it's not when it reaches the waypoint)

That's generally the symptoms of some waypoint conflicts. Something doesn't seem to be 100% properly set.

You said they worked fine when you tested the group alone. Did you change anything on the group after that?

Can you perhaps upload your mission?

Also worth a try: If you have a working group/formation in a different mission, you can Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V one group after another into a different mission. Bit of a hassle but that makes sure that everything is set properly.
