Not 100 % correct

It all depends on where you ditch:

If you ditch in friendly territory, you will get a "ditch". Nobody will get a kill on you, neither by having damgaged you or by proximity.

If you ditch in enemy territory, you will get a "you have been captured". If someone has pinged you before, that enemy will get the kill. If you are not damaged, but an enemy is close enough, that enemy will get a proxy kill.

The question wether you are in enemy or friendly territory depends solely on which base is closest to you. If it's a friendly one, you are safe. Please note that strat targets have no influence on this.

Ditched a Stuka in the water last night, get slow and you can do it gear down. Wound up on my prop and tail sticking up in the air, had to .ef quickly because I feared that my squaddies would take advantage of my exposed posterior

As too landing on water I once skipped a B-17 trying to get low & it skipped off of a wave got all engines and maintained level flight until it ran out of air speed and made a belly landing/ditched. There are several films showing a B-29 ditching off of a beach in the Pacific and not breaking up or showing any major damage.

when i take off from a carrier and stall after about 2 seconds in the air ill do a belly flop my wings and prop will be broken but im still afloat then the carrier arams me and starts pushing me but doesnt destroy the plane

Depnding upon weather you were in enemy territory or you were defending is factors there. You hit a wing off and he lands in the water and you are attacking his base then no kill, its just like landing on the land, but if you kill him defending then you will get the kill because thios will come up in the text buffer:

"You have been captured"
and who killed you and such.
thats the only reason you did not get the kill

Funny part of that is you can tower out sometimes when this happens & you will get a succesful landing.

i think it should count as a dich and the guy who made him dich in the water should get the kill in real life you didnt know if he made it back to base if you got the oil in the engen i think you got the kill even if he made it back to base they had gun camras that what they used to determin if he got a kill

thats what it is. If you land anywere other than the cement on your base then you will get a ditch and usually the kill but the problem is that the guy he killed was in proximity and they don't count ditches in your area.
