Recently I have been wondering about people bailing from planes. I personally do not bail from a plane even when I know I’m going down. I was wondering what you guys and girls all thought about this. I know there’s probably a few exceptions. Like when you’re on fire and the Mig or 35 has broken off from you and your on fire and about to go down. I think that if your about to blow and they break off the chase its fine to bail. Post your opinions.
I dont never bail.
like to go down on a sinking ship.
plus if I'm 30/0 and on a streak, i dont wanna trek all the way back when i can just respawn and get the jet

Depends where it is i'm going down if i'm close to home or the enemies airfield i'll bail. If they're tailing you closely fly towards the ground or a hill and bail at v.last second, if they're not paying attention you might get rid of them in the process
same exact thing when i'm whoring an APC on Karkand.E7IX3R wrote:

I have been known to take many deaths in one when I knew I could bail.
Some times I drive my doomed APC into the heat of the battle, bail, go around with guns blazing knowing/hoping I'll die within 5 seconds and can spawn back there again.
I don't ever bail from planes or helos, being that I figure the airframe's still just as deadly as anything else I have in my arsenal. I will, however, bail from armour, since being an engineer (usually) I can try and AT Mine the ass who managed to me down.
I do, however, advise any gunners I might have while flying to jump if I know I'm doomed. If I start screaming at you to get out repeatedly, you would be well advised to do so.

I bail only if I don't want the jackass to get a kill score off of me. Or If I'm close by to something worth while. Otherwise I just die, and grab the next jet/vehiclePrix_GTP wrote:

I always bail. A lot of the time I'm assaulting a flag and I don't want to lose any action so if my ride blows up, I'll just hop out and try my best on foot. I personally find ground pounding just as fun as driving an APC, so I don't mind. Besides, I can be way more sneaky on foot.
I'll normally bail, but usually I end up bailing too late and die in the explosion anyway.
I hate it when people bail during the middle of a dogfight in the air, pisses me off.
I never bail, rather die and grab the next vehicle than swim to shore

This doesnt cound towards your deaths in a plane thoughTetrino wrote:

I always try to bail, unless im over a large body of water (learned that the hard way). Most times im not quick enough to bail if i see missiles after me (frickin high ping) but if its the Mg on the other jet then I try to fly back as close as i can to my airfield before I bail, or close to some form of alternative transportation to make my way back to my jet. I mean common thats why they put the ground vehicles in the game, didnt they?
When people bail on me in a dogfight then I know for certain that i Pwned there ass and they know it, almost as good as the 2 points. What i hate is Blackhawk bailers, thats like missing 12 points!!!
Other thing i hate is running into the frickin parachute of the bailer once you try to shoot him after hes deployed his chute. What a joke, my Mig-29 would rip that chute to shreads.

Unless your air intakes sucked in the 'chute, the guy in it or some of his equipment (which is quite likely if you hit him nose on) in which case you're going to have a severe Foreign Object Damage problem like the engines blowing up in your face or flaming out or something of that nature...
I bail when circumstances dictate, I see no real gain to 'going down with the ship' and it'll give some other guy a chance to fly too. Besides plenty of times I've bailed and then done better on the ground than in the air. Or better yet I've bailed and managed to get a kill (or even one time 3 kills) whilst still in the 'chute, that really makes my day

Maybe, but when the guy in the chute doesnt even die i start to wonder... Ive even picked up 5 TKs for hopping out of a BH and deploying the chute (damn pilot couldnt understand either fly high enough so we have time to fall before we deploy it or land the frickin chopper.) I mean 5 Tks for hopping out of a BH. That also earned me a boot FYI.
I will only bail if i cant be bothered flying anymore or i am on a mission which involves me bailing out to capture a flag.
But as you guys have said, it is much easier to go down and die, then just respawn and get back in!

Swimming to shore from the edge of the map (Wake) should be awarded with a badge or a ribbon, just like the parachute one !
I bail if I am sf, to take out there stuff.
And i hate people like you leaving armor for the opponents to repair and use against you.banksd1983 wrote:

I bail out, and then i press suicide if i`m to far from the base
I do not want to encourage the guy to dogfight me again by giving him a kill! LOL

The only time i bail is if i have departed from controlled flight. If im spiraling towards the edge of the map, i bail. Especially if im in a dogfight. It sucks to loose control, but when you bail, and see the trailing plane spiral out and [someguy] is no more. its like "booyah".
Other than that, if I am beeping "gtfo before you explode" than ill usually try to bail, usually die anyhow.

From what i understand from reading this, bailing is merely a strategy of making sure that your there to regrab the vehicle that you died in. However, I consider every ticket precious and I think not bailing when it's productive to do so is selfish of the individual player. Sure you may not get your pretty vehicle for a while, but if you can get out, live kill some enemies, cap a flag, or be in any way, shape, or form useful, then I believe it's your duty to save yourself and help the team.
However, some situations merit dying. For example, a plane over the ocean. Or a tank that just had 2 c4 packets placed on it. It wouldn't make sense to bail, because you'd end up in the ocean, or get your tank stolen. Each senario is worse than death, so in those cases, death is your best option.

i always bail before my jet hits that friendly BH
Just a heads up, this guy is noobmurderer. ^
Just fuck off and get a life would you?
One post, just ONE POST and you let yourself get found out. My god, I can't believe how pathetic you are!
I can't imagine the satisfaction that Trigger, THA, Marconius, Markimus, Robin, B.Schuss, NM156, Lynx, Skruples, afrojap, voodoo, Chuy, or Vireo must feel when they get to hit the ban button another time for your sorry arse. Wish I could do it myself, but I am cursed to let more qualified people do it.
I promise you, if you try again, I WILL find you out and I WILL get one of the Mods or Admins to ban you again. The call goes out again for you to get a life.
-Ty.

Usually try to get one more kill before the big explosion. If Im getting owned in the air sometimesa I'll bail and then suicide just to be a dick.
If there was i'd have been awarded it multiple times by now. ("You have been awarded the swimming badge" There should be different swimming badges, gold, silver and bronze.. depending on how far you swim )MajorHoulahan_MASH wrote:

I hate getting in a helicopter when somebody else is flying it, they usually fly it in a straight line at just the right height for aircraft and AA to shoot it down or they crash land it.
Why can no-one else fly nap of the earth at speed like I do?
Hell, half of the time when I accidentally spawn at the bottom of the carrier I'll suicide just so I wont have to climb up to the flight deck.
think ur in the wrong topicTyferra wrote:
