i was watching the film the red baron and in the film once they shot down a plane they would let it go,would you do the same in bf1 if the game allowed it,you know being a gentlemen or would you just keep shreading up your enemy until he blew up.if you shot someone down but they managed to land without dying do you think we could still have a point system for this,like still get points for a kill or points for just damaging the aircraft.
Yah sure if you can jump out before i blow u up. Dont think they had parachutes even though they are very simple and easily could have had them. also what would be the point of laser tag battlefield. Yay i shot u but no biggie
what i mean if the game allowed you to crash land and you survive the crash,the pilot who shot you would get points for damage or points for a kill.
It’s an interesting idea. But alas the probably action will be “It’s a video game. Shoot to kill” Gentlemen warfare can come about in private servers I suppose.
Didn’t Turkey demonstrate us some time ago how to deal with crash-landed enemy pilots (Russians)?
lol
Ww2 though but still. Nice to see the story of an “enemy” axispilot. I am sick and tired of gung ho american stories in a game… Maybe someting for Battlefield 1944.
Without further ado Luftwaffe pilot Heinz Migeod…skip to around 2.35 or 3.40 if you really have no time.

You inspired me OP! Mercy in a game! we work someting out!
Fun fact, in reality the Red Baron told his men to aim for pilots, not their planes. That movie maybe entertaining, but it’s far from a historical biopic.
While there was a more sporting mood in airborne warfare, such as dropping wreaths to show respect to fallen enemies, it was still a bloody war.
As far as my concern goes, people aren’t “gentlemen” and they will never be.
As soon as they get behind your plane, they will stick like glue onto you just to get that accursed kill in their goddamn stats. Because we all know: kill stats > everything.
If you jump out of your plane, it won’t end there. The gunner will spam that machine gun until it runs out of ammo or overheats.
Prepare yourself for not getting TLC in aerial combat.
that was a good watch thanks.
Nah, if I see them burning, maybe missing some of their wing and spiraling downward I’d let them go lol
You r welcome let the good posts roll
:o … 
The chance that anyone would let their enemy escape in any Battlefield game is slim…I mean you get points for that. You don’t wanna progress? : O
Maybe if a Critical damage/hit would give me the maximum score, I may have turned a blind eye and let him escape.
If pilots can bail with chute it’s pretty much moot considering you’re a pilot with a pilot class. Pretty sure the pilot class loadout is going to be pretty weak compared to the other classes. So bailing to save yourself and then landing near a flag will in most cases mean death anyway.
I’m going for the kill when I fly. If I get it sweet, otherwise at least there’s one less plane in the sky.
Making prisoners of war. Was there not a arresting feature in hardline instead of knifekill?
Typically what would happen according to Flyboys (2006) and most accounts of WW I era pilots is that your plane either blew up, you jumped out of it and went splat, went down with the plane in a burning wreck, or you took your revolver and shot yourself. Easy way out and quick and painless apparently.
Yeah, there was an arresting feature but I doubt this game would go 100% by the book and I doubt the players would just spare a person by killing them. They’d want to kill them.
Pretty much summed it up for me. The players aren’t going to spare you and play by the rules. War is war. Nothing is fair. Everyone is out to progress. I know if I see a dude spiraling to the ground I’m going to be putting him out of his misery.
No. I’d shoot it to bits.
I didn’t play Hardline only the Beta. Was it not that if you arrested some one you would interrogate them I they revealed enemy squadmembers?
