Time and again, I hear someone say, "bail and go get a goon with troops". No sane or normal pilot would bail out of a perfectly good working aircraft!! I suggest that to stop this sort of BS, is Hi Tech needs to program the whole program in AH, where a pilot cannot bail out of an aircraft if the damage message says, "all systems normal". I know that there are people in here who say, "oh, its just a game"!! What is wrong with displaying a certain amount of honor and respect for those of us who try to fly in here, just like we did in the real Air Force? I fly bombers 95% of the time in here for 2 reasons: 1- bad eyesight,(78 yrs old), 2- #1 again! I think part of the fun and enjoyment is the cat and mouse with a good stick like Debrody, Hymie, Oddcaf, Pand. If they can shoot me down, then they have out smarted me or my aim is just off. I also enjoy a 45 to 60 bomber formation with escorts, it brings back memories of yesterday!!
