Ever let them kill you on purpose?

[Citabria]

Theres been times in the past in low pop arenas like ww1 arena (where an enemy to fight is not a certainty) where once in a while I've deliberately flown into a noobs guns and tried to walk my plane into their randomly spraying gunnery after killing them several times and taking pitty on them.

Ive found the alternative of shooting them down until they log off to be less satisfying and much less challenging.

I'm sure they enjoy it more too.

I let people get on my six...I try to not let them kill me.

Best way to hook players on a game is make sure they "win" occasionally.   It's a proven psychological effect and one of the reasons gambling can be so addictive.   So you are actually helping the future of the game palyerbase by doing what you're doing.

Yes.  Back in AW, and in here.  New players and vets alike.  With the vets, it's usually happens with me ending up in an accidental ditch after losing a great fight, so instead of ending the flight, I'll wait on the ground so they can strafe me and get credit for a kill.

If I'm shot up, and somehow still flying, I'll sometimes say "free kill" on 200.  At that point in particular after a good fight, why not ?

[ImADot]

If I find a noob, I have, and still will, hold fire (or ping with a BB or two) and just fly around to give him stick time and a fight.  I've been shot down (not on purpose ) on occasion, but I think it's more the fight and the attitude you show that the game isn't just about the quick kill.

 This is exactly what more players should do. This Game can be very frustrating before that first kill.
  I don't play it safe. It's fun to push the limits and try things that wouldn't be smart in the real world. I kill but in return supply kills for others instead of being a safe alt monkey worrying constantly about impacting my score.  
   Those that whine about getting killed are really whining about their score.  

   Some will brag about their K/D ratio but are never there to support an operation or stick their neck out for others always seeking the easy kill.

I firmly maintain that I do this every time I get shot down.

I'm a very generous person.

Every time I get shot down it's on purpose .

When losing a fight against multiple foes, I will dodge the 5 ENY tard(s) much harder than say an F6F.  Even though he has the same numbers advantage, it is preferable to give the kill to the pilot that's not in an EZ-mode machine.

if im ever turreted in a tank i really could care less about, ill just sit around in the open. why wait for supps when you can just get a new tank right away?

[BaldEagl]

Sure.  All the time.  That's why I die so much.   

[redcatcherb412]

A couple of times. Had 2 converging gv spawns and this one player kept spawning on top of a rise pointing away from me. After a few kills and his dogged repeatedly respawning I gave him a few close dirt kicking shots and the time to get his turret around.  Doesn't happen often, but it happens.  More times than not if I have a good fire exchange with a tank and I turret him, I will let him exit instead of finishing him off. I don't know if it's cause I hate to get buttshot trying to get away when it happens to me, or I figure he won't respawn as fast if he has to take the time to drive away. Either way, just a fun game overall.

on another note, best kill shot I have seen this tour.  M4 on hill 3.4k away, my m4 in one of the half burned up houses firing at him thru a window, he lays a round right thru the window and nails me. Chugamug, that shot should be framed, but I didn't have film running.
