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.

Pretty sure I'd wet myself laughing if ya did that to me - makes mental note, take the game much more seriously.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

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

Define "badly damamged".   :devil

Most time I let them go. I try and play for the fight. Not real worried about a kill, but each to their own

I had a great 1v1 with a jug earlier today when I was in a K4, I knocked his wingtip off with a tater, sent him a <<S>> on 200 and let him go.

i leave them alone unless I KNOW who it is and they have previously done something I would not approve of (shooting on landing or flying back wounded/winchester/bingo)

I'd rather fly alongside an AFK flyer until they come back and realize there's a P51B 50 yards to their 4 or 8 o clock wingman with them and as soon as they move i hop in back and shoot :D

I just throw myself in front of their guns so they can shoot me down and feel better :)

If a guy's really fought a good fight and ends up damaged and unable to fight anymore, I sure don't mind letting them rtb.  The fun was when the fight was in doubt.

I don't expect that to happen during my thousands of barely flying 38G wreckage flights, but I've had guys pull off, and let the wreck stay up.  Of course they know that the odds are I'll crash anyway, but it's a nice thought gesture.

This Honor crap only exists in the movies. War is ugly. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen & Marines will kill the enemy wherever he is, as long as he's still moving, trying to get away, still a potential threat, trying to take a plane back to be repaired, to re-up and kill more of your  countrymen. Period. Nobody smokes and flies past me and lands safely. Especially in a game where a kill is a kill. Every time I get all polite and don't Ho anyone I get Ho'ed, Rammed, and Killed by the jerk that rammed me. Polite with the enemy of your team is BS.   :old:
