Once you bail, you just died...same as if your plane exploded with you in it. What happens after you bail makes no difference to your score...you get a death and whoever shot your plane gets the kill. Forcing someone to remain hanging in their chute makes no sense and adds nothing to the game.
No, captured or bailed successfully do not count as deaths, but that's not the issue. Let me clarify. The old way when you bailed you couldn't end sortie until you touched down. Which players found tedious and I understand that, I'm not asking to return to that system. If you think somebody is doing something in this game to spite you or anybody else then you're taking what happens in this game personal, and that's sad. Shooting chutes was fun, shooting planes from a chute was fun. Unfortunately you'll just have to take my word for it because it's an aspect of the game that you guys will never or at most very rarely get to experience.
