So, if the aircraft is burning the pilot has no ability to do anything but barbeque or baill out.
Depends where the fire is. If it's on a wingtip or the tail, maybe fighting on was possible. There were bombers that made it back to base after fires (I'm sure I read about that).

You are both an A and a B...the B only because of the point system in game. Had that been a real war battle, you would be the hero. Sleep well tonight, you're OK

We do verbal claims - and generally both pilots would claim the kill.

As the pilot being shot at, I appreciate it if someone blows the guy off my tail.
As the pilot being "stolen" from, I feel a little cheated.
As the pilot doing the shooting, I feel virtuous.

and in those 5 seconds he can nail the red guy.

seems funny though, i often see dewinged planes that are still considered targets by some in SoV.

well they question you have to ask your self is were try to save your mate or were you after the points.
If you were after the points then it a steal kill'
But if you are trying to save your mate butt then "blast away"

I was on SoF today playing red in a Spit VIII, had just got an FW-200 and an FW-190, was heading back towards my base at about 15-16k feet low on fuel and cannon ammo, I stopped by the first base and saw it was covered in blues, and decided to potter over to another. Then I noticed one of the Fire Squadron guys who was on my team diving in on a 109 over the base, so I checked my fuel gauge, saw it was pretty empty, but I thought, "what the hell, I've talked to the guy on TS a bit, seems nice, I'll help him out". So I went in alternating with him, except I was only firing MGs to keep the guy off balance. Finally the 109 driver heads into the weeds so I stay high covering the FS guy and he dewings the 109 on the deck.
I check my fuel gauge and see I'm almost running on fumes, and now the base below me has three blue 190s moving in towards it. Damn. I nose over to the other base and run out of fuel halfway there, have to land on a road. So I only got 50 points, but I didn't care, to be honest, it was a fun sortie.
That is, until the FS guy I was helping out pipes up in chat saying "you know what grunch, you're not a good teamplayer".
I'm like "oh, really...why's that?". He says "I don't know, you just aren't, you should watch urself u know".
Am I wrong to be really offended? The fight played out as a textbook wing-pair attack, with one staying high to cover the other in between attacking and not prosecuting the kill, I couldn't have been a better wingman without being on TS to be honest, and all I get is accused of being a terrible teamplayer, despite losing 450 points for helping the guy!
To be fair there's no way he could know I was only firing MGs, but if he was such a great teamplayer he wouldn't care which way the points went anyway, would he? I don't call people out for cutting in unless they're literally shoulder-shooting, myself.
Seems to me like the guy couldn't recognise teamwork if it dewinged him with a MK-103 out of a 2000ft height advantage.
