Ok here's the crack, the inside info, the way outta it, the "what to do".
If you are pilot wonded over an enemy base some 25 miles from your own you have just 2 choices 1) live or 2) die.
1) You must RTB then and there. No arsing about for another kill you ain't got time. YOU HAVE NO TIME TO SPARE AT THAT RANGE. If you have any "WEP" you best wep the tits off that plane. No arsing about on approach final. Get over you base as fast as possible and ditch speed as fast as possible. Now think about lining up. You want your speed 150 or less. Expect a black out and get ready to auto and 25% throttle. Land it if you can but if you do black out you will awake over the runway and at landing speed.
2) Game the game you have no shame it is after all a "cartoon" plane.
