We just shot one down in the our first game. Could be good humor or his comments about our conduct were in real anger. I also have no guns but am still flying around taking the risk of being shot down too. Question is...should we allow such crippeled aircraft to retire...with honors (full pts.) or should he be forced to leave without honors (1/2 Pts.). These points could be very vital later incase of a tie etc...after writing this and thinking about the points it would seem to make sence to shoot him down.

your thoughts please


In previous tournaments the rules have meant that you have no choice but to shoot down gliding aircraft - this is because the rules meant that you had to stay on the board or you'd be classified as killed......giving the enemy a point.

At the end of the day it's a tournament and it's designed to be competitive. If someone's entered into the tournament then they should have no cause to complain about it!

...especially as Squadron games are usually played very honourably anyway......


in most games...i tend to let my enemy get away if he is crippled...may not be helping my victory ratio on the dreaded statistics page but i at least feel better about it...most of the guys i play against have a similar attitude...but in the end if they come after me...well i understand...and they will be open game for me if the situation is reversed...Tornade's memory is long...and transgressions against me will be added to the Book of Grudges

in a real war situation...a cripple is meant to be finished off...the more helpless the enemy the better...most of the German aces got their high scores by going after cripples and defencelss aircraft and not a few of the Allied ones as well...shooting down a defenceless recon plane or observation balloon was more valuable than shooting down a whole squadron of fighter planes
