People in planes should atleast get assists for suicide bombers

I’ve encoutered multiple people who after being shot down some times, just decide to suicide bomb so they don’t give the enemy team the plane kill.
If there is no enemy plane to counter them, they don’t suicide bomb anymore.

Since you don’t get score and xp for just sitting in a plane, it makes pure fighters extremely annoying to use.

I suggest that pilots should alteast get an assist for suicide bombers but even a full kill is fair IMO.

A fair solution.
Most CAS spammers will immediately suicide when they see a fighter aircraft, they do this to discourage others from flying so they can continue circle jerking around the objective and rearm zone unopposed.

I try to quickly land a hit on them to still grt XP but that’s not always possible.
IMO fighter planes should still get the XP regardless of scoring a hit or not if the enemy aircraft was in detection range.

I had a similar issue some time ago (Air cowards and way to combat them), where enemy pilots would bail just at the sight of my plane, or when they knew they lost the manoeuvre battle. It’s extremely frustrating, especially if you have pure air superiority fighter, because you have no way to gather points by attacking ground targets.

This is just reasonable behavior to adapt to the battlefield
Because you can complete a variety of tasks in a short time with lower risks, instead of just watching idiots on the ground voluntarily commit suicide or waste time on unnecessary battles and supplies, and the enemy will not gain counterattack benefits.
This is why people choose to use suicide attacks

Only incompetent anti-intellectual groups and ideological discriminators would call it spam and demand restrictions and reward those who do nothing.

I think a better approach would be to encourage everyone to shoot down planes
For example, once a player is attacked and crashes, he cannot fly another aircraft within 2 minutes or must perform squad rotation (damage from enemies and bombers)
This mechanism is more reasonable
Because this can encourage everyone to intercept planes and work hard for their own survival and advantage instead of just watching idiots being killed by planes and being indifferent.
Instead of protecting low-skilled idiots by punishing suicides
(Because low-skilled idiots will be killed by various things anyway so even punishing specific behaviors won’t really protect these idiots)
