I would never bail even 100 on 1. I am riding that bird into the ground on fire.
The only time I will bail is to give credit to whoever I was fighting before a cherry picker comes and steals it.
Otherwise I'm riding it into the floor baby!

Personally I prefer to fly into the ground or a tree while I'm looking behind me at the four planes chasing me as I try to "gain separation".

Silly Muffpit, vPigs  :rolleyes:.  There is no comparison.  We set out to take that entire island.  We did.  No NOE's or surprise carrier attacks.  Just straight here we come from a sector away dar bars with plenty of warning for those who would be interested in fighting it out.  The island to the east just had too many green guys for the Pigs comfort.  So we started our own fun.  Nothing worse than sharing assists with 40 green guys.   

See you up there,

I'm curious what percentage of sorties are landed in actions like that.

I never paid attention.  Is that important? :headscratch:

Seriously though, sorties of what?

Knowingly embarking on multiple one-way missions seems a bit dweebish when there are other survivable ways to achieve the same objective.

Lots of people land.

Drop your bomb on a hanger and circle until the base is taken.

Not like there's anyone to fight....

What sucks is that one way missions are the most effective way to get back into the action to help capture a base.  RTBing is a waste of time in the win the war sense.  Why?  Because 1) Base damage is set on a timer and 2) There is no incentive or value in landing other than personal glory after you have damaged a base.  Now, if landing your damage ensured that particular damage would stay damaged longer, I could see the merit in it.
