???
With limited ammo on I can still choose my bombload- B17 can take upto 16, admittedly 500lbs, heinkel he111 can take up to 32. So why would you limit yourself to 4???
Plus as soon as my complete loadout is used up, be that limited or otherwise I bail and get a new plane. If you're in a 10min and it's limited ammo why waste time lining up your plane for a kamikazee, it's much more efficient to have a new plane and bombload that waste 30seconds ramming a target.

And there's always plenty of guys I know playing, at all hours. You seem to be aligned more with the American's judging by your posting times on here so you miss the peak European times 7-11pm gmt which I thought would perhaps be more suitable for Russian.

I'm just saying, if you bail out the plane will fall to earth either way. Might as well ram it and make use of it. If you want I suppose you can bail out just before you ram the target.

By the same token then you may as well ram planes in cta thereby as you put it making use of it. Similarly you may as well ram bombers with fighters then when shot up to make use of it!
If you're that desperate for points then ram away, I thought this thread was about playing as gentlemen.

Second that Gilly.

It's a big difference to me to play good and entertaining games, and to go into each mission with the overall goal to win it at any cost.
That said... Of course I like to win! In fact I love it, but I love the good times with good friends that this game gives me more than any occasionally "Mission succeeded" (or whatever it says in the end of each mission). I guess I'm just getting old...

Hit the nail perfectly on the head McQ.
Perfect example was last nights BoB game. No winners or losers just a damn good laugh.

Of course, it should be avoided. It doesn't feel right to just bail out without compensating for -1 points to your team though.

Perhaps the no ramming should only apply to Simulator players then?

Without compensating??!! And come on 1 point in the scheme of things doesn't really make that much of a difference in a strike! So by ramming you change the -1 to more a +20/30- that doesn't feel right as you put it. Especially when some poor opposing player spends their time being shot up trying to get a kill only for then to see it ram the target! That doesn't feel right! Then to top it off chances are their plane is damaged after chasing said bomber and they end up bailing/ crashing to subsequently loose 1 point.
If you want to ram then be my guest, fill your boots if 1 point makes such a difference.

Every point counts towards a win. In a CTA game, where no one is letting the other team land, you can expect to see dogfighting only where every plane that crashes counts as -1 point.

If you feel that one point doesn't make a differance, then go ahead and bail out. I however would want to put a plane without any ammo or fuel to use. It has been done several times during WWII. And not some pile of rusted metal to be found 65 years later.

Every point counts- by just saying that you suggest that you're therefore willing to do anything to get said point. In a strike where a full B17 load can demolish over a 100 points 1 does not make that much difference. Dogfights and Team Battles I agree every point maybe does count. As you yourself have said in your cta reference 'every plane that crashes'. There's your difference! We'd bail and credit the killer irrespective of what the score was.
Anyway knock yourself out, ram away if it makes you happy.If that's what they did during the war who am I to argue. Did they respawn 5 seconds after dying with a new plane and bombload too?

I hope that comment about rusted metal is not related to the Spit wreck piece on the other thread. Thin ice mate, very thin ice
