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 ---

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. ---

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. ---

Nah, if I see them burning, maybe missing some of their wing and spiraling downward I’d let them go lol ---

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. ---

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 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. ---

Was there not a arresting feature in hardline instead of knifekill? 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. ---

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. ---
