You do realize this is a game, right?
It is generally accepted in WW2 that when a pilot lowers his landing gear in a dogfight, that it is his "white flag" (sans the F4U pilots ). I'm not a good dog fighter, let me get that out, but I like the damage model. It gives a challenge. When your oil is over your windscreen, an elevator missing, and half your guns shot out, I find it quite "challenging" to end my fight and proceed home. I lost the fight, time to learn and keep trying. This is the time I descend to the deck, drop my gear (white flag) and limp home. But it astounds me the amount of people that will come burning in on reentry to come and get that last shot at me. You've got no defense and all of a sudden towering before you even hear a ping is quite frustrating. Do people really want their name is lights or what? I'm just dumbfounded...[/ find them rearming and kill them
