ditching - lets get rid of it

[Zigrat]

Ya know, i ditch as much as the rest guy, but its dumb. If you get a "you have been captured" message, that should be a kill for whoever put the most lead into you. If you ditch in your own territory i guess thats a bit different, but if you ditch in enemy territory, itd be counted as a kill. After all, if you didnt disappear they could just strafe u. Same for tanks, if you ditch and you have been shot, guy gets the kill.

Couldn't agree more zig!
Even if you ditch in friendly territory thats more than likely one AC thats written off. Hence should be counted as a kill, or at least scored like 2/3rds of a kill.

All this goes double for the tanks that can currently exit anywhere, anytime with no penalty.

Well, ditching is really too simple. I shot the wing off a low 202 and lo and behold, he managed to ditch, even though he was at a 90 bank in a  spin! No biggie, except I now had 8 enemies on my six, most higher and faster and eventually my luck ran out and a 109 shot me down.

But man, that 202 flipped over, rolled and whatnot.

Any Ditch should count as a kill .. unless you land on an airbase (skidding off the runwya and such ... IMHO
