However, you have to take one thing into consideration: Both the AI and players in MP seem to have a habit to stay in their planes and in a fight a lot longer than what you would experience in real life. I have yet to see AI bail with elevators and rudders disabled and I have yet to see people bailing as fast as possible online when you set parts of their plane on fire.
Of course, on some instances people would try to avoid the inevitable in real life and you would see some attempts in nursing planes home, but unlike in a Sim, people were putting their life on the line doing so. The rule of thumb in real life was (and is): It's better to be a coward for 5 minutes than dead a lifetime. No such things in Sims unfortunately.

Of course but i dont think that would conflict with what were talking about..
This can work both ways however you want to look at it..If i knew i scored on an enemy enough to get a kill i wouldnt then go ahead and finish him off as to kill the pilot..
'get it home fella-be safe'...scratch one
Even a kill Message or 'enemy disabled' which is triggered after a certain amount of Dmg...lets face it if your plane is pretty much dead or getting that way but not really easy to observe from your attackers point of view you get annoyed when you see the attacker coming back round to finish you off..
then its the
''Im dead already! you ****'
I honestly do think that in RL it would be easier to judge if your foe is disabled bad enough than what we sometimes see here in game..
Like you say though, its an option server side..i personlay think it would make for a better game, stop alot of chat about ammo this or ammo that and its effectiveness..and hopefully stop some tempers getting to high when flyers are still laying down the hammer when they already have the kill..
Sometimes i get kills in MP and i dont even know who it was, it would be nice to know if that shot there or that deflection shot here was good enough and im notified as such
