That hardly seems right to me, when I fly FSO, I try to fly as if it were real (to a certain extent). I wouldnt mind seeing a point system where ditching and bailing would be rewarded as opposed
to a death or capture. I dont think I need to explain why. Maybe only 5 for a bail or ditch, 10 for captured or killed. It'd be like 5 points for the aircraft loss and five points for pilot loss.

what he said......
I'm also alittle nervous to tell squad in fear that once slightly banged up in the Air, they will auger and go back to ma.
since it wont make a difference on the point total.
Think Dace has right idea. I don't think ya should be penalized 10 points, if ya just spent half an hour nurseing your plane back
to base and couldn't quite keep it on the runway. It's no different than if ya land a banged up bird and get sucessful landing, plane is unflyable and lost but since it made concrete its a sucessful landing. no penalty for that.
Bailing out is bailing out both pilot and plane are done.
Ditch a plane away from friendly airfield both pilot and plane are done. But I think consideration should be taken if a pilot gets a ditch trying to land at a friendly field. The plane is recovered to be repaired and the pilot is back at friendly base.
Just my 42cents
