Does bailing out over friendly territory put a black mark on your record?

I play with unlimited ammo because my lack of experiance in leading and ranging targets. But when I get a bombing mission and I want to land, I have to land with a bomb, which for me is a death sentence. The autopilot won't land, it will just turn back and try to get rid of all my bombs, but I have unlimited bombs so the autopilot won't land. My two options are to land upside down or bail out. I just got back from a vacation so I haven't been playing, but my last mission, I got a few air and ground kills and went back to base. I remember that I have a bomb still on my plane. I was thinking of bailing out over the airfield but decided to attempt a landing. My gear break and my bomb load detonates. Does bailing out over an airfield do anything bad to your record?

AFAIK, you wont get as many points as you would if you'd land. A fighter kill gives you 100pts, if you land, you get the 100, if you die, you get 10 (IIRC) and if you bail out & live, you get 50 (IIRC).

Also, if you play with DCG, the lost plane will be removed from the roster.
