Then my post was not aimed at you. My post was aimed at (primarily the person who made the false equivalence) those who refuse to try and fight back and intentionally crash or J-out to deny a kill. Idk about jets, can’t comment. But as you yourself said, gunshipping is quite effective at taking down WW2 props (or at least sending them back to base with dying engine cooling and you surviving).
If I want to be spiteful and crash my plane to deny someone a kill, I will. I have no qualms about doing it and do so often. It’s my aircraft and I get to decide what to do with it within my realm of control, after all.
The same behavior is also used against me regularly.
Does it bother me? Nah. Couldn’t care less.
Wanting to punish people for it is utter nonsense, by the way. The players are already accepting the SL/RP loss by crashing even with zero score, so there’s already a penalty in place. Wanting to demand a higher penalty just because you’re upset is purely egotistical.
You are not entitled to have free and easy kills against the enemy team, or any kills at all for that matter. Get over yourselves.

I suppose you wouldn’t care then if people starting reporting you for violating the code of conduct for deliberately losing… out of spite
Unrelated I’m noticing this way more now, I’ve just played 8 matches in ground RB and noted 15 J-outs, a specific one that really stuck with me was a Swedish T-34 on Carpathians domination. They pushed up around to the enemy slawn at our north and racked up 5 kills without anyone doing anything about it. I played like shit and lost 2 tanks straight up. I respawnrd in my SPAA and they were still there 5 minutes later. I called an artillery strike on his position and they j-ed out.
I know the sunken cost phalacy is partly to blame but if the game makes you so spiteful, why are you here?
You know your bomber is equipped with a lot of guns capable of killing an engine in 1-2 hits (and you’re very likely to hit an engine given you’re firing backwards/below rather than from behind the enemy), potentially even cut a wing off in a well aimed stream of shots?

well im not going to read a wall of txt but i did read the first sentence. You doing the same thing just the opposite side of people crashing. Complaining that people are not playing a video game they way they think the other player should play because your way of playing should be the only way for it to be played. You are not better than the person who crashes to avoid being killed, you are acting the same way just the other side of the coin.
Your inability to maintain an attention span further than five seconds is neither my concern or fault. And it is not a wall of text, it takes what - a scant minute to read at best?

If i remember correctly, and i think i do… I never said anything being your fault or your concern. Again you go off about something that is not there. so at this point i’ll just count you as a troll and move on. have a good day.
If anyone is trolling, it’s the person who had readily admitted they are refusing to read what the other person is saying. I cannot answer your intentionally obtuse incomprehension in any more detail. Read what I’d written, and clarity shall shine upon you.
People do this in SB too - at least in sim you get a respawn, I really don’t understand why people do it in RB other than to be petty (and it’s probably just to be petty).
It’s not a Code of Conduct violation so you fail on that note. Rest of your argument has no substance so it’s not worth responding to.
This reply of yours has any relevancy to this, how? We’re not even speaking about what class of vehicles are being used, here. This is a general discussion. I never even mentioned any particular vehicle type.
It’s only a free and easy kill if you make it so. Having level 100 players crash deliberately after doing a couple passes and realising I am not an easy kill is childish and cowardly behaviour
Your feelings are irrelevant. If they crash or J out that’s on them. If you crash or J out, that’s on you. Simple as that.
Be it operator error or intentional, it’s their vehicle, and yours, to do whatever command decision you feel like doing in any given situation.
I could have an entire team crash or J out and I wouldn’t care less. The match is going to end somehow, after all.
Its not about how I feel. If you are scared of a horror movie or game, you do not play it simple as because you cannot handle it. If you are scared of dying or having a “black mark” on your K/D scoresheet its pretty much the same thing lol

You are precisely making it about how you feel.
Like I already told you, your feelings are irrelevant.
Which none of which has anything to do with those who purposefully crash their aircraft or J out.
You lose. Thanks for playing.
You’re actually making a decision about how you feel, because you get a bit irritated when you are killed by someone else so you would rather a tree do it. Feelings are the core concept behind your decision.

Yet unlike you I’m not trying to dictate that others cannot do so if they choose to.
I don’t get upset when others do it to me. I accept it for what it is and keep doing what I want or need to do in the given match.
People are very quick to forget that not a single mode in War Thunder is a TDM mode. Every mode has more than 1 objective to complete to win.
