Bombing Training Missions bailout?

[iwreckalot]

I've tried this training missions 6 times now (Training Missions #4 - Bombing in Good Conditions). Firstly, there seems be a ton of drift and rate error in this mission as I have to constantly adjust. As soon as the aircraft gets within about 1 minute of drop, the engines start running rough and smoking and the entire crew starts bailing out. This happens, every single time. I've watched Ikranaka's Youtube series religiously and cant seem to pinpoint whats happening. Any ideas?

Im able to answer this myself by not giving in researching :)

Turns out Ikranaka dove into this subject in his engine management video towards the end. Its due to the engine management game parameters and some awkwardness in how it applies to AI controlled aircraft. A quick solve is to reduce the general difficulty to medium which disables the new engine management requirements for the player.
