This would probably depend on the altitude of your bomb run, but i'm assuming youre making runs below 10000. In my experience with flight sims, zeros are not considered fast. P40's could have gained altitude over the formation and dove in using whats called "boom and zoom" tactics, scattering the formations (In the Battle of Britian some RAF pilots would fly directly above a formation, roll over and dive straight down, screaming right through the middle. Seeing what looks like a suicide attack the german bombers would scatter.). If the zero tries to immedietly dive to gain enough speed to catch the p40's it wont make it, and it'll be far away from the bombers. If done properly with 1-2 p40's on each pass it can cause the formations of fighters to; try and follow attackers, Cover their own a**, or climb. The latter would suggest a portion of experienced fighters trying to gain an advantage, but this may be to late and the bombers will have done their run. I'm not saying the game duplicates this, it's just a thought off the top of my head. But it could justify what happened.
