I think this is why the water seems to elimnate alot of the no kill crashs it seems to do no or very little damage .
thoughts???

It's certainly a good point. I have experimented both accidentally and on purpose with ground vs water. Was in a strike with dave,McQ and winny last night where McQ, dave and winny were team A with McQ and dave had 17's versus myself (17) and I think an IL10. We were on the Britain map and as such I had to bomb and travel like a nutter to keep up with their scoring. On a low bomb pass with winny behind me I dropped a full load from no height and accidentally bombed myself. So from an 8000lbs perspective the 8000lbs won!
Next one was were I had drdeath nobailer chasing me over the ships in an IL10 and having lost engines at 14k ft, glided down whilst bombing. I then could turn anymore and thought I try that over water. Even with the god canons blazing into my rear I managed to 'crash' rather than be shot down by dropping bombs as I glided in. Now I'm aware that a certain couboy carries bombs on his spit in most modes and deliberately bombs himself at ground level and it seems from testing this would also be possible over water. So to a degree whilst being over water helps it doesn't prevent it altogether. I've also noticed that should you clip a house or a tree then it also gives the kill as a crash so whilst what your saying it possibly true it does have exceptions. Just IL2 and it's quirks! After nearly a year of playing nothing surprises me with this game anymore.
