I've had it.

That happens allot. There are a few out there that crash on purpose, to either refresh their plane, or to deny you the kill. There will always be those few that do that. I myself, try to stay up so the one that shot me up can get their earned kill, but in realistic, or sim, that is not always possible. I tend to fly low level most the time anyway, and if someone gets some good hits on me, in many cases, I loose lift on one wing, or the other, and can not keep the plane up. At 100 feet or less from the ground, not allot of room for error, or time to get the kill before I hit the ground. But, I do try to give my attacker time to finish me off for his kill point. Give the benefit of the doubt, and hope they at least tried to to stay airborn and not let it bother you. You will enjoy the game much more if you don't take it too seriously...

That said, I was just chatting with my foe last night... I fly pretty good, even though I am not that great getting kills in the air. But, In allot of cases, I can out fly my opponent and cause him to crash, hit the ground, or run him into another obsticle. I have scrapped foe off my butt using the cliffs of Dover many times. It is a kill, although not provable, or even get any points for it. But I don't care, I get the personal satisfaction that I caused him to crash.
