You should also first check the raiders real altitude (the radar doesn't always give the corret altitude). Do a "banzai" intercept with a swarm right in the middle of the raid group, and recall it at once when it made contact.
Actually make that schwarm equipped with G55 at the start of the game and 109G5AS when you have them at max altitude. You will be 10k above any escorts who won't touch you, you will see the exact composition, speed and height of all components and you can stay with the raid if you want without risk. Also if one of those bombers drops out you can bounce it by already being in the air.

For historical reasons I don't equip german units with italian planes, but I equip the hungarian and romainians with them ...so I have a hungarian G55 staffel for "high level" duty in France :-)
