What do you think?

[Kuhn]

Has any one had this happen?
I am flying around a base, just running CAP, and I find an enemy fighter. We dogfight for awhile and I notice Im low on fuel, so I disengage and run for the nearest air feild. All the while this guy is chasing me to shoot me down when I try to land. Now I am really bummed becuase the last time it happened i was in a 262 and so was he. I am sure my opponent did not make it back to base. I lost my ride just so he could shoot me down on aproach! I let him know that I thought that was not conduct conducive to a pilot with any honor. (I wish I had put it that way to him).
Now I myself have not done this because I dont care to.
 SO what do you all think?

I would have chased you all the way back, vulched you on landing and tried to date your sister afterwards.

Seriously kuhn, from hios perspective, you were running. (and well, you really were).

Cheers,

Kuhn,

I'd have chased you.  I see your perspective and do not disagree with you but if it's red it's dead in this game.

dont blame other people for your failure to monitor your fuel situation. I would have chased you as well. Sometimes you can try to call out your situation on 200 but it will usually do you no good. You should always be checking your fuel levels.

In addition to that, I would have kicked your dog/cat/fish and taken all the beer in your fridge.

[Kuhn]

Would you do it if you could not RTB beacause your fuel was low too?

Well if I knew you were from Minnesota at the time I was chasing you down, I would let you go. (Seeing how I am originally from there myself). But in all honesty, you are fair game and in the real world one less plane and pilot in any circumstance of combat is a victory.

[Kuhn]

Its not the chase and down Im debating. If you both die or ditch, whats the point?

[Blooz]

You were fully intent on getting your kill and then because you ran low of fuel you think the combat should just stop?

Your opponent then has the advantage and you feel he should break off his attack out of honor?

Honor in air combat disappeared in 1915.

Silly goose. Wake up! It's the 1940's!

[Kuhn]

GAWD you guys are harsh!:D

[The Fugitive]

me, I would have fought to the death, his or mine.

Well I guess you did, but you put a long run in between the fight and death part

Honor is not gone and I wont believe it is!!!!

Just because you broke off your attack, for whatever reason, doesn't mean the other fellow will break off his. If I could catch you I would have shot you down also.

If you are out of fuel or ammo your adversary now has the advantage and he will try to capitalize on it.

I usually can't catch a runner as I don't fly the go fast planes much, so you would have probably been safe if it had been me.

I would have PMed you and reinvented your family tree in text, made funny faces, announced it on 200 that you were a runboy, vulched you, er gave a twenty minute speech on Why I R teh macho........................ .........................

OR

The most likely scenario....................I would have lawn darted trying to vulch you. In that case I would have logged as quickly as possible to avoid you PMing me and reinventing my family tree in text, making funny faces, announcing on 200 that I was Lawn dart boy, or giving me a twnety minute speech on Why U R
teh macho.
