I have let people live if they run out of ammo, the way I figure, if I run out of ammo against them 1 day, they might do the same for me, adnd another benifit of this is if they do run out of ammo, and it is a big battle, they have to fly all the way back to base to land, then take off again and fly all the way back, so it keeps them out of the fight longer then if I were to shoot them down

Same thing with bombers that keep hitting important airfields. Shoot the drones and get your kills, but make them fly all the way home before they come back to blow your stuff up again.

If they put up a good fight I'll leave them be very often. If he/she has to go through some of my friendlies I may even attempt to escort him/her and ask others to back away.

It does not make you a better person or a better pilot. It does make for a bit friendlier competition.

All enemy planes are targets. It's your choice.

I agree completely, as I don't quit until my plane's unmaneuverable, I expect nothing less from my opponents.  If it's not falling out of control, on fire, or exploded, I shoot it.  I've been bitten too many times being 'merciful'.

I shot off half the wing of a Spitfire Mk XVI the other night and broke off afterwards, knowing he was out of the fight and saw as he broke for home when I broke off.  I stayed off to the side of him and settled down to "fly his wing" and escort him home and when I saw him lower his gears as he neared his base and I can see he was trying hard to keep his Spitfire from rolling on the damaged wing and augering in.  When the Spitfire pilot was confident that he was going to make it, I positioned myself on his six and shot him down as he was about to touch down on the runway.  Nothing like giving someone false hope and then dashing it right before their very eyes.  Great fun.

The last time I was trying to act "noble" and let that last surviving Ju-88 head home, I got a bunch of nasty PMs by that player.

That cured me very much.

Who all on here will leave a badly damaged plane alone while flying? I always do, but I like to scare them to death with a flyby right over their heads :devil

If I know who it was and we had a good scrap, I'll let them rtb.   If it's anything else, good luck trying to ditch or land.

When I first started playing, I was under the impression that this game was about dogfighting.

As I slowly learned a little SA and ACM, I sadly came to the realization that this game isn't about dogfighting, its about winning.(As evidenced by the AH front page)

You will very rarely come across someone that wants to fight on equal terms in this game. (higher!! higher!!)

After some time, I'm afraid I've been absored into the collective and look at things like Hoing, vulching, camping, and shooting at guys in planes that are falling from the sky as OK. (I win!! Yaaay)

So, I guess my answer is no. given the opportunity, I will shoot anything, anywhere, anytime. 

This is the 1st game using real people as opponents etc, that I've ever played.

It has turned me into a raging misogynist.

I generally let all of my opponents escape and often I will let them shoot me down just to boost their self esteem.

Sauce for the goose :t


I used to love high bailers.  I could guage their alt and know how long they'd be floating.  Go off fight, yada yada.  Come back and pop them just before they touched down 5 min later.

Sometimes life is really, really good.

Being a nice guy (unless pushed), I'll usually let an obvious damaged plane RTB, or if I am picking on some uppers over enemy base and I see someone who is RTB, I'll usually let him land. Now if I damage someone like oil hit, fuel hit or whatever. I'll disengage to give them the chance, but if they follow me then I'll turn around and (hopefully) finish the job. I usually don't attack landers or people hotpadding, unless of course its someone who made me very  :furious then no quarter is given  :devil
