Ditch vs. Captured?

[mutha]

Hi guys -

Can anyone explain the parameters determining a ditch vs. a captured outcome? 

Is it based solely on proximity closest base/cv? 

Does proximity of enemies/friendlies have anything to do with outcome?

Thanks!

Here's what HT said in a thread last week:

Ditched / captured.

If you stop successfully on the ground, and are not on a runway/taxiway you are considered to be one of the following, ditched or captured.

If the closest field (vehicle, carrier ,port or airfield ) to you is friendly you are considered ditched and a kill is NEVER awarded for a ditched aircraft.
 
If the closest field (vehicle, carrier ,port or airfield ) to you is ENEMY you are considered captured and a kill is awarded based on most damage , and if no damage was done  proximity.
