Lucky bugger....tis a bug.
I have been inside enemy dar circle and shot down so I bailed even though enemy bullets were still hitting my plane. The plane blew up boom, as I hit third enter and guess what ? Lynx landed 4 victories...tis a bug.
This whole ditch thing on your field debates is a case of of 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other. Swings and round abouts friends.
Lost count how many times Ive landed with 1 gear shot off and been given safe landing. Even though in real life I'd be lucky to walk away after cart wheels and nose overs. Lost count the amount of time I've landed belly in even though it's really a ditch. Get safe landings for that to. Lost count of how many times I've landed in with 1/2 a wing and been given safe landing even though the gears given way keeping it straight on the runway. F4's prone to gear collapse when you land to fast. All ditches really.
Once I was on that little bit of grass between the runway and re-arm pad and ran out of fuel with 8 kills. In external the planes nose was just over first bit of concrete. So near but yet so far and you guessed it, a bloody ditch. Very disappointing as there was no damage and 8 kill under my belt but the 8 kills are nothing to all the "safe" victories I've landed for reasons stated above. Swings and round abouts, swings and round abouts.
I'll bet everyone of us has gone "phew made it" at some time or other. Especially those 262 snapped off wing landings. Am I right
