Well about the only time I use it is when I've worked my way too far away from the action and simply don't want to take the time to fly all the way back in arcade. Bail out and respawn near where I want to be. I'd imagine it gets more use in Realistic and Sim where damage effects performance?

It does. If your badly damaged and are about as useless as a chocolate coffee mug with more holes in than a Swiss cheese - that's when you use it. It doesn't bring up a message saying "XXXX" bailed out, though. It just says "XXXX" killed "XXXX" or "XXXX" crashed. Hope this helps

Bailing has long been encouraged by the dedicated members of this comunity for a long time.
Number 1 due to lag issues bailing more often then not results in a kill being awared to the person who blasted you crashing often robs the other player .

Number 2 realisticly no one would stay in a crippled aircraft or ride it in to the ground . law of self preservation. That and aircraft were easier to replace then crew. That is one thing that helped the brits in the Battle of Britian . Aircrew who bailed often survived and were back in the air quickly perhaps that same day. German aircraft downed not only lost plane but a trained crew as well.

All mentioned above is true. Though it should be noted that bailing out only rewards kills to those responsible for the damage, that has made you bail out on the ps3. It has the opposite effect on the xbox ( i may be wrong here, xbox guys help me out! ) robbing said damager of his kill and recording a crash instead.
The bailing out code on the ps3 is a sort of gentlemens agreement and is not upheld by all players. Most of the ps3 players you see on this forum will bail out for you if you have crippled their aircraft.

Same on Xbox, Bail out quickly = Kill awarded to perpetrator of your sad demise - if you are a gentleman and a sport that is!

I ain't one, should have done a better job when I was in their sights......
