When you get the bnz kill, it counts for one kill, meanwhile others who stay in the furball get 2 or 3. Seeing "mission failed" gets old.
If I had heat-seeking cannon rounds that could make sure to hit the engine, I'd use them. Hitting the engine is a low-percentage shot compared to hitting the plane in general. With other planes, hitting the plane in general a few times is likely to get a kill credit. But hit a Polikarpov once or twice, if it's not a lucky engine hit it will begin a long journey to the deck and no credit, cause there's not enough hits.
In one-on-one dogfights, of course I bnz them. I don't fly anywhere near them. I fly up to 5000 meters and laugh at them.
