'I didn't even have bomb'n'bailers in mind - those would not care about ti anyway. It's about the 'inbound bailers

It's unfortunately a regular ocurrence for me to run into enemy bombers inbound to target that will just bail once I move into icon range and they see that I'm A) hostile and B) have a plane capable of hurting them. I even had perked mossie bombers doing exactly that more than once.

Can we also have proxy kills on fighters that come in with alt and then run whole sectors as soon as they lose advantage?   Kind of the same thing.  :neener:

I think there's a lot of difference between using a plane's performance be it speed or turning radius or ENTER ENTER ENTER. I have no fundamental problem with someone running away from me.  ;)

when somebody bails, they basically run away from a fight or you.

A running P-51D can still turn into a fight if somebody dives on him or a Tempest or 262 shows up.  A bailed bomber cannot turn into a fight.

A proxy kill on a plane that is still intact and flying is the same thing as a proxy on a plane that was bailed from and crashed? Huh.

What is the reason someone bailing especially before the drop?  If you bail from a set of three bombers, don't you get penalized three planes lost in the scoring?

The simple answer to all of this might be to eliminate bailing altogether.

Make it 7K just to be safe.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
