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......

Wildboar if your playing arcade you don't really need to worry about it it becomes a problem in realistic and sim where a plane get shot up then tumbles to the ground out of control then crashes where as if you bail it gives the person who shot you up a kill if you don't bail in realistic and sim you will make many enemies very fast

Wouldnt necessarily say sim as the recent tournament demonstrates based on it's 'minimum number of deaths' to score the players. Agree wholehearted with realistic where to not bail is both considered ungentlemanly and to a degree only done by cheats (not wishing to nom names). Most guys will request politely to new or unknown players that bailing is required and to subsequently then ignore this will as mav points out result in said player being targeted by other players.

Seriously though, the lower you fly the less chance of a bail out and a 'kill' is usually awarded anyway if enough damage is done. The game appears to score on a 'timeout' basis' - if you can keep the ac flying for a period of time then 'crash' or bail out' no kill is awarded. Its a flawed scoring system which relies on the player 'bailing out' very quickly to give the kill to his opponent. The best approach is accurate gunnery rather than the reliance of honesty!
