Hi
Most of the bombers when not in formation to help protect them by the groupe cross fire always try to avoid contact with any bandit on the way back home ,the try to hide from cloud to cloud... Once the get near the airfield the start losing altitude fallowing a predetermined circuit and tour instruction for approach procedure...
When they are in great danger they could do anything the pilot juge appropriate to save is life like diving to get away or even making sharp turn to help gunner having a change to open defensive fire...Just like a fighter it s never a good thing having someone in your six chasing you , in a bomber it s even worse this must be really hard to manage a escape again someone faster and more agile then you...
