It's not deliberate all the time. If the control surfaces are shot away or the engine stops, the plane is going to crash.

You can't actually blame people for bailing out of an aircraft that is handling very poorly because of the damage done to it. Why would anyone want to fly round in a aircraft that is handling like a brick waiting for someone to blow them up, it's just not human nature to do that. 'hello, I'm a sitting duck, please finish me off', people are not like that, they want to bail and get a new aircraft.

I do think bailing out and crashing should mean the person that shot up the aircraft being awarded a kill. A player death should mean another player gets a kill.
