I'll stand by those two old quotes. The current system does add an incentive to try to screw the other guy out of a kill. I consider that fun. I consider it fun to be the other guy trying to prevent that too

I consider this fun

Running off and landing intact except for some minor damage(engine out, fuel leak, winchester, etc), while denying a kill to someone, I'm absolutely in favor of. Having your plane blown to pieces and getting a ditch because the code looks at your speed when you break the ground plane, and your proximity to a field when your speed reaches 0, I'm against.

You are more concerned with not being killed, while I'm more concerned with killing. We're on different sides of the fence here, and I see why you're opposed to this. That's fine too, but quit trying to tell me I'm wrong.

Where did I say you were wrong? And you're just plain full of **** with that line about killing vs not dying...you should know better.

Just for the record, I was up in a Hurri1 in orange the other night and came across a low il2, since it was the only con about I thought "why not" and went for it.
We had a nice little fight and not once did any HOing occur, he ended up taking my engine out with a cannon shot, and I extended as far as I could on the glide and dropped gear hoping for the ditch. Next thing I see was a txt on 200 telling me: Hurri1 at 152 land.
to you sir!, you know who you are
So I land and even though we were in no mans' land between bases, he still got the kill. So as far as I'm concerned there is no problem at all with the current ditch set-up.

There is no no-mans land. It's only important which base is closest to you.

Yeah I was not sure how close we were to whose base, but either way I ditched, he got the kill. Since he took out my engine, I've got no issue with that.
