Once upon a time I upped a P40N to combat a P51D that was launching rockets at a field for de-acking purposes. I took my time and extended out and grabbed E and alt while the P51D kept buzzing the small field de-acking, etc. I'd say withing 3 minutes of me upping I was turning back to engage. The P51D saw me engage and as long as he had the complete advantage he stayed in the fight, but as soon as my little P40N out-scissored him and was able to reverse him he went nose down and ran over a sector away to RTB. As he was running I said to myself aloud that I bet this joker is [insert name here]... I was able to keep up with him enough to watch him land and tower out and my hunch was right. Ya see, in addition to nearly de-acking the field he was able to get a couple of vulches (not me). It was that important to him to land those 2 kills than it was for him to stand and fight in a superior plane.
But alas... it was very typical of him and his squad mates to vulch then run for the name in lights. They do it quite a bit.
I wont name their names. It should be rather obvious because their own countrymen call them out for doing so. The running away stuff gets old.
