Actually in one of those videos on youtube,one of the rammjaegers saw the cockpit of the squadron leader (killing instantly all the 4-5 operators in the nose section) and demaging very bad the next Liberator,his wingman,who also went down because of the demaged controls,and the B-24 went into outside loop,and because of the large negative G's,the wings came off,and the plane fell apart.

Sp anyway....The loose of the squadron leader and his best crew,the best pilots in the squadron,leads to immediate loose of moral between the squadron members.Which is way more important than the plane.
For exemple,look what happened to JG27 and it's Ist Gruppe,after the loss of Marseille.
