For all of these of course you have to pretend you're a mercenary fighter pilot and your country has been invaded by its neighbor after it fell under the power of some ultra-nationalist (fascist) party.

-Most of your country has been occupied except for some mountain ranges (which contains the air base you're based out of). The enemy has sent bombers to wipe the base out (the last line of defense). You're launched to intercept them. You intercept radio transmissions that one of the bomber's IFFs has malfunctioned and it's withdrawing from the mission and pulling out of the area. Do you shoot it down anyway?

-You're on a raid against enemy ground forces so you can recapture your supply line. In the area are civilian houses, which no doubt have had the occupants displaced and are probably being used as weapons storage by the enemy. However the people most likely would return once the war is over. Despite this, they are labeled as targets because of the enemy storage involved, but they aren't part of the required mission targets. Do you bomb them?

-While providing air support for the retaking of the capital city, the enemy is largely routed, and the commander of the occupation decides to flee. You intercept a radio transmission that he's boarding an unarmed helicopter to get out. The helicopter poses no threat to you and is not a labeled target, only the military forces still in the city are. Do you shoot down the helicopter?

-While launching a strike on a massive enemy fortress, you must do enough damage to force them to capitulate. You can safely do damage by attacking unarmed fuel tanks, watchtowers and fuel tanks instead of hitting the military facilities which include much anti-air and pose a threat to you, or you can hit the military targets which have a risk of taking you down. Do you attack mostly the unarmed defenseless targets or the military targets?
