New to the game, but have found a reoccuring issue. When we fly balloon defense missions all of my flight (i'm not lead) decide to just slowing spiral down and land/crash land near the balloon we are supposed to defend. Figure they would be a lot more useful if they actually stayed in the air. This is in 1915, and we are flying Eindeckkers in JG 1. I've had about 6 of these missions and everytime...down they go. We're starting to run out of pilots. Not sure if this happens later in the war, or on other side; but this is really an issue it seems. Maybe I'm just smoking crack.
