My opinion:
If it's burning and flying, it's a threat. It's alive and flying, I'll shoot it. Too many times have people said "That zeke is dead, that IL2 is dead" and the burning sucker ends up on my tail and kills me. If it's missing a wing it is no threat.

One would think you'd notice something marked by a huge fireball closing on your six.

This brings on a different question.

Around two weeks ago I was flying with a bunch of green around me and came upon a red 109 g4. I was of course in -> _ _ _ _    _ _. Those of you who know me can fill those blanks in without a problem ;)
I underestimated the 109 on the merge, and thinking I'm so good and what not pulled a really crappy merge. Needless to say I was very soon in trouble and was forced onto the defensive, something which I suck at. I was thinking 'Man this is so fun, this guy actually knows what hes doing!'. Do you know the feeling when your fighting a very good stick, and you know you've messed up so you just want the guy to finish you off and give him the kill for a job well done all the time your on the defensive?
So needless to say, I was doing what I thought would be my last manouver when I hear tracers then something blowing up. It was a green guy ' coming to save me ', when i never asked him to.
Needless to say I got pissed off and apologized to the guy who I was fighting. I know how that feels.

Are you wrong to get mad at the guy who came in to save you, presumably with the very best of intentions?

..I agree that most occasions with most people it's a mistake - keep in mind there is an issue here also that is affected by the size of your monitor.

A missing tail or a partial wing loss that someone can easily see with a 32" monitor at 1000 yards may take someone with a 17" screen at least 400 yards or less to see clearly and they may have been firing at 600yds.

cheers eh!

Was it one person who swooped in?, did you ask for others to stay out?.... In a situation like this I would usually ask before entering to take out the red guy ( red guy just entered the area at the wrong time)....sometimes I have had no answer and gone in and got told what a sap I am for doing so. If I get into a fight and want to keep it 1 v 1 I will tell all on vox around me. of course that's not to say somebody who was just out of range pops in but then I am watching the green to ensure my request is being fulfilled, if it is not I will quite often (especially if it is somebody I know was in Vox range) pull out of the fight and let said red guy deal with that threat and re engage the fight after...if he is still there that is.

As a red guy in that situation I would myself be expecting the others to join in and use my SA accordingly. You can soon tell if you are going to be left 1 v 1 or not. It does get annoying when you get a whole string of guys in on you but that's how it goes I suppose and in those situations I take it low and try make some of them hit the deck before I die......

Last time I saw an image like the one depicted in your avatar, it was on the conning tower of a movie prop Type VII U-Boat - and might've sported a different color.

I don't concur......and I've been here almost 2 years.

honestly.........I think it's a common whine vets use when it happenes.....for obvious reasons.

Its war......that's how I treat it.

So after you died the first time you quit playing?  Cause if it's war, you only get one life :)

I have not flown in a long time.

Even when i do i dont get a lot of kills.

I once got accused of kill stealing by a now exsquaddie whom i really respect because i see him as a fair and honerable man.

At the time it was just another target in my sights, perhaps my end had not updated, perhaps i did not see the damage I dont know...

No matter what you do at somepoint someone will accuse you of kill stealing warrented or not

The only person who is gonna know the truth is you.

Its a game play fair and have fun...
