I think that "who runs away comes back to fight another day", something real WWI pilots tended to subscribe.
I think that running useless risks is quite foolish too, so I run with some fuel still if the alternative can leave you gliding in the middle of the map.
Playing near your side (for Germans at least) is the right thing to do. Citizens paid for your plane and your training. War aren't won by the bravest, but by the most clever.
I think going for the nearest side is the most sensible thing to do.
'Nuff said.
But, above all, I think one must be careful before calling people names like "coward". Playing styles are a matter of personal taste, thus have to be respected.
Manfred and Lothar Von Richtofen had opposite fighting styles (Manfred calls them "the hunter" and "the killer"), but they didn't call each other "coward tactician" or "foolish butcher", they fully respected each other.
