Rescues that aren't

[creusot]

In the last couple of days I have had sorties end with a RES when they shouldn't:

• Twice I was shot down or maybe rammed in the air, saw the plane go down in flames, but got a RES--should be KIA, obviously
  
• Today I landed the plane on the AF and got a RES instead of RTB
  

Something that needs looking into?

This continues btw. I still occasionally get RES when I am shot down in the air. But maybe I am the only one this happens to.

Man I haven't had my head in that code for a while.

The airfield thing is that you were too far from the airfield marker. A few of them are in dumb places.

In my testing you always get rescued if you successfully bailed out over friendly territory. Why would you expect to report Killed in Action?

If the plane explodes and I don't bale out? That should be a KIA, no?

But what I described hasn't happened now in a long while.

Yeah if your pilot dies in the crash that should be a KIA fo sho.
