Who all does this?

[Guppy35]

This Honor crap only exists in the movies. War is ugly. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen & Marines will kill the enemy wherever he is, as long as he's still moving, trying to get away, still a potential threat, trying to take a plane back to be repaired, to re-up and kill more of your  countrymen. Period. Nobody smokes and flies past me and lands safely. Especially in a game where a kill is a kill. Every time I get all polite and don't Ho anyone I get Ho'ed, Rammed, and Killed by the jerk that rammed me. Polite with the enemy of your team is BS.   

There is a war in Aces High?

Depends,

If I badly damage a plane in a good 1v1 fight in the MA I will let him rtb and throw him a good fight....

Someone HOing me or ganging me is going to die good and proper

[redcatcherb412]

Define "badly damamged".  

How about dead-stick, oiled windscreen, smoking, gear down, just seconds from runway.  I rarely fly and land even more rarely (cause I suck at it horribly), but darnit I had a good shot at a landing.  I hope the buff gunner who incapacitated me at 10k up got the kill and the last second picker got an assist.

But knowing it's a 'war' game, upped a new cartoon plane and went hunting the bastage that blew my cartoon plane up.

I shot off half the wing of a Spitfire Mk XVI the other night and broke off afterwards, knowing he was out of the fight and saw as he broke for home when I broke off.  I stayed off to the side of him and settled down to "fly his wing" and escort him home and when I saw him lower his gears as he neared his base and I can see he was trying hard to keep his Spitfire from rolling on the damaged wing and augering in.  When the Spitfire pilot was confident that he was going to make it, I positioned myself on his six and shot him down as he was about to touch down on the runway.  Nothing like giving someone false hope and then dashing it right before their very eyes.  Great fun.

ack-ack

Throw in a rocket kill and we'd have a classic.    Spitfires never RTB, not on my watch.

[VonMessa]

if it's flying it's still a threat, ive more than once let them go only to see them try to kill other people as he trys to escape

Ah, well see, if you're already physicaly above the runway and seconds from landing, there's a lot more functioning parts of your plane to deprive you of while still giving you a sporting chance at successfuly landing it.

If he/she's trying to rtb and I can clearly see that, I won't bother them.  If they're still trying to fight, well then it's a different story.  Don't need them reporting anything back anyways...

Right! Ain't it more right to say, Who of ya'all've done this?

[MORAY37]

Who all on here will leave a badly damaged plane alone while flying? I always do, but I like to scare them to death with a flyby right over their heads

Depends.  Most of the time, I let him go.  He's no longer a threat to me, and he's generally on the deck, leaving me no room to maneuver when he inevitably drags me under a buddy of his. 

In fact, the first thing I try to do when heavily damaged/missing a wing, is to take whoever is going for the easy kill down to the deck and towards a green dot.  Every time, on the deck towards green.  Keep that in mind, all you gung ho queens.  You're getting one, but you're not landing it.

I used to wonder why in the animal kingdom some animals eat their young and birth.
Now I know.

I have often done this after watching someone fight thier heart out. Saluted em and wished em a good landing. Recently the opponent managed to get home 1/2 wing, at least 2 sector flight to land some good kills (don't remember name).
I will also let an opponent go when damaged if they are no longer a threat and the mission at hand is a priority. The kill for me is less important than the team effort.

And then again, there is the most likely chance that it's just a furball and I don't mind taking them out. I've seen 1/2 winged planes, even planes without wings, take down a friendly in thier death spiral.

Mostly tho I like shooting down my team mates kills after they have taken off thier tail! Must be the Hyde in me
