Kill radar then ditch in the forest inside of the radar ring.

I'm starting to think that bailing out should not be an option anymore. I can't think of any reason to have it other than "immersion" but as for gameplay it does not have anything positive to offer.

Well, it has to do with flashers that bail, I suppose .... realizing there's more ways than that to stealth flash a base.

On temporary hiatus or I would. Don't mind being wrong about it, either. :)

I always though they did, but I just tested it and they do not flash a base.

This is not a bailed pilot. This is someone who actually drives / fly's an aircraft some distance off the field inside the dar ring and then when on clear ground rolls the aircraft into a set of trees and sits there and flashes the base once it's taken. It's unfortunate this type of activity is allowed...but clearly not a priority.

Those of us that know how to use film continue to do so and find the culprits giving us free kills...but...it's more of a time wasting annoyance than anything else that should be banned in the game.

Why should this "type of activity" not be allowed?  Cybro isn't griefing/harrasing anyone or committing any other type of TOS violations that would warrant any disciplinary actions.
