If you can kill me fine, but don't expect me to make it easy for you. I fight to the end. This is one reason I dislike limited ammo/fuel. Number one, in 10 or 20 minute matches, no plane should realistically run out of fuel, most were made to fly 90 minutes or more with their fuel load. If you run out of ammo, I face a dilemma; crash or bailout for more ammo (I do not like to do this) fly until shot down (suicide) or fly off the map and wait the match out. I play to fly, so I do not like to sit the match out, so what do I do? The other problem with limited ammo is in CTA. Flight sticks are great, but no brakes, so to slow down, you have to fire your guns to have any chance at capturing the airfield; you are already handicapped with a stick, since if you and another player land, if he plays with the control pad he can use brakes and stop quicker. So you fire your guns and capture the airfield, and now you are out of bullets. Same dilemma, what do you do? So actually, limited fuel and ammo encourages crashing; everyone wants to fly, but you need bullets to have any kind of chance. Limited fuel and ammo should not be use for this reason; even if you shoot very well and sparingly, you run out of ammo and crash to get more.

Sorry, I disagree.
The multiplayer game is broken, which makes it unfair, so if i'm damaged beyond the ability to still fight and get kills, I will ususaly try to make it more fair by making sure the guy that shot me up gets the kill.
Example:
Ive been shot up, Ive got bright red wing and body and cant turn for shit, I will crash if I do anything more than keep the plane level. The guy that did the damage is coming back round for another go at me. At this point I would say "fair enough I give you the kill" and just fly level ,especialy if im flying against good friends. I find many, many other people instead try to force a dying plane into another imposible tight turn to avoid the attacker, which of course makes them crash and denys the guy his kill.
Now, CTA games I think have to be limited ammo and fuel (who runs out of fuel without having massive fusalage damage?).
Yes its very anoying that the brakes don't work for the stick but you do have the option to use the gamepad if you really want to be a lander for your team. Unlimited ammo gives planes waaaay too many bombs and makes larger games of single airfield matches imposible (P-47 with "unlimited" bombs is a CTA game breaker). Yeah some cocks like to kamakazi when they run out of bombs, but even this is better than a P-47 carpet bombing the hell out of everything.
