- Jobo's do not engage if under a personal or unit threat. It is funny to see P-40E trying to evade with the bomb... Let them drop bombs and attack, they are sitting ducks.

Agree with this point. This is a bit unrealistic. Flew a DGEN mission today when my flight of 4 Bf109K4C3s got a flight of 4 La 5Fs fighter-bombers (unescorted): not one of the La-s jettisoned the bombs; in fact they flew like bombers- trying to evade with the bombs attached.

If you do not want the Jabos to jettison at the first sign of trouble maybe you can implement something like this:

IF no. of escorts is greater than no. of enemy fighters
AND/OR IF the Jabos hold a significant energy advantage over the enemy (meaning the Jabos will be able to bomb the target before the enemy catches them)
THEN Jabos *do not* jettison.

Now honestly I do not know how complex (or simple) this kind of implementation can be- it's just a suggestion.

Otherwise IMO the older Jabo behavior (i.e. jettison at the first sign of trouble) is preferable.
