Just as the title says. I can be kiilled I figured that out. But how do I get captured ?

Yes, if you crash behind enemy lines.  PWCG uses an algorithm based on proximity to any friendly location and enemy location.  If you crash close to the front you probably escape.  By the time you are 10km or so behind enemy lines you will almost surely be captured. 

 

If you are not playing dead is dead then you will not be captured.  The configured maximum wound will be applied instead.

Great system, thanks Pat!  My friend and I just had a co-op mission where he collided with an A-20B just across the Soviet front-line.  I landed to try to help pick him up (narratively), but pranged my propeller.  We were both just a few km behind the front line and wondered if it meant we were both automatically captured.  Seeing our pilots as Active after the mission was welcome but puzzling.  Awesome to know this situation is anticipated and there's a reasonable chance for evasion and escape if close to the front lines.
