I might not have however a lot of people don't pay attention to their fuel states for whatever reason.  I've run out of fuel before after a long sortie.  Landed more than I didn't but when you get info overload it's something thats easy to miss

lol.  no offense, but like others, the honor is in fighting.  

it must be about that time to discuss the honor of shooting down cartoon chutes as well, that is probably my all time favorite topic:)

Expect nothing from anyone in red. When some one does do something "honorable", you'll be pleasantly surprised.

when i posted this thread i expected various responses.It is interesting how some take it as complaining. I dont want anamosity.I want honest answers. It seems to me honesty includes inflamitory remarks from some, which I can gladly counter or choose to ignore. To the ones that think im complaining I aint sorry for nuttin. To those who answer with out the emotional intonations, I say thank you for telling me what you think. This tells me alot about who I am dealing with.

I think you should stick to AvA.  In the MA you're fooling yourself to expect that someone would say "go ahead and see if you can land it."

What happened prior to the rtb would have been what influenced my decision, if we had been in an extended fight both trying for the upper hand ,then eventually you turned and stated that you were bingo in all honesty I would probably have wished you well and found another fight. This I have done quite a few times.
On the other hand if it had been a one pass affair and you had decided to run for home, if the aircraft I was flying had the capability I would have chased you down for all I was worth.
As for the "but you won't be able to rtb" option, a little hint, a lot of people here are not that worried about rtb'ing it's the fight not the "glory" of landing kills that makes it fun.
So all this boils down to is circumstances and consequences.

Lets not get off the question im asking. If you could not RTB just to get the kill would you do it? Remember I'm just asking! Don't play the ***** card with me!!!:D

Yes.




Short enough?

[Innominate]

Going to say this again, just to get the point across,

Countless pilots, including some of the worlds greatest aces, have DIED because they wanted to get that kill, despite knowing better.  Complaining that it happens in AH is pretty pointless when men have lost their lives over the exact same thing.

Now, I would stay back, were I in a 262. Not because I thought you were being honorable, but because I didnt want to run out of fuel. Were I in a free plane, I would chase you to within the ack, then, if you made it to final aproach, I would let you go. (Ive been vulched on landing too many times to do it myself.)

[B@tfinkV]

any 262 thats running home and low on fuel i would shoot every time.

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

hell yes.

[FiLtH]

I'll chase someone across the map if Im latched onto them. The chase is part of the fun. I'd rather chase a guy and kill him and run out of fuel, than rtb, even if I lose points.

    I try to spend time in transit as little as possible.

are you kiddig me?  show me the posts with anamostiy.  we gave you honest answears.

are you asking us if it's okay for someone else to shoot you down?  tell me your not going to sit there and ask for honest answers, and then presume people are posting with "inflamitory" remarks and emotional "connotations" (i believe).  Then to top it all off, you say " this tells me alot about who i am dealing with."  anyone see the irony?  lol.

again, if you don't want to hear different view points, then don't ask for it.  you asked, "what do you all think," so we replied.  and you assume we are all emotional.

You gave an answer with no emotion the first time. Why are you so worked up now?
