Maybe the game allows those to be hit/damaged/destroyed, and then reports them as combat losses?

Status: offline 		This has been commented on before. I don't think there was any certain reason identified when it was previously discssed but was put down to possible op losses which had occured at another base being included in this combat report. Have alook at the intel report, are any Bolo's reported as op losses?

Status: offline 		Night bombing seems to 'encourage' weird happenings. In my PBEM some Martins based at Makassar were assigned to bomb the oilfields at Balikpapan and some Il-4s based in Kunming were assigned to bomb the heavy industry in Hanoi. The combat animation showed a mixed bag of Il-4s and Martins bombing Balikpapan that turn.

Things like that happen even when you don't have anything at all flying at night.
