I think it would be funny if HiTech made chutes unkillable. Imagine the whines we would hear from all the dedicated chute killers :D

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

If you think. The nature of the two respective groups in question tends to dispute your theory. ;) You keep truckin', tho. :aok

hehe forgot about the saluting thingy...did get kinda out of hand and everyone did get sort of miffed if you killed them and didn't do the whole salute song and dance - thank god it didn't carry over to ww2 sims!!

Ahem my personal favourite was S! Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori....

I want a new chute death animation for when you die you go limp like in FB not a boom like we have now and maybe puffs of blood when you get hit in the chute.

What does one stand to lose by having his chute shot?  Points?  Pride?  On the contrary, I say that it's those who whine about being shot in their virtual parachutes who need to think about growing up.

Like YOU need target practice Leviathn, give me a break


Hey, it's not like I'm waisting a whole lot of ammo when I've got 1400 rounds of .303 to spare.  :)

After a good fight, I think that you might salute the guy or group you were fighting, if you have a few seconds to spare.  Do you, or have you never done this before? ;)  Oh, here's another question for you: do you steal kills?  Don't be shy, you can tell us. :)

That's right!  You should know that cutting in front of line at your local supermarket is perfectly legal, and I encourage you all to participate in this fun activity!  I guarantee that you will generate whines from doing this, in fact you will get far more whine generation per minute than chute shooting!  :rofl

That's true, it is also important to not let tulips affect you.  But wait, are you telling other people how they should behave?  In a computer game, where behavior doesn't matter?  How dare you!

Err .... kinda buting in ..... but ....

Define "Kill stealing." Hell, some players act like the seagulls in "Finding Nemo" whenever they see an enemy in icon range.

"MINE!MINE!MINE!MINE!MINE!"

Some players think if they've been chasing and missing a plane for over a minute and someone comes in and finally plugs the guy that they had a kill "stolen" from them.

Hell .... even if the plane's missing parts but it's still flying and shooting, I feel no particular compulsion to not put bullets into it in order to keep from offending the dweeb chasing and spraying and just as likely to auger during the fight as he is to finish off his opponent.

Just want to see what you think "kill stealing" is before you decide to continue to endless pursue this line of attack on poor `ol Todd. ;)

That's a very reasonable description of what is and what is not kill stealing.  It is the same one I use.

LOL :D  Don't worry bout him, he is being pursued only by honor-ridden retards and idiots like yours truly.  Surely he can defend himself from such vermin with ease.  A Hurri I has as much chance of catching a Pony. :D

When I see a countryman all over a con, I figure he has situation at hand. I proceed to find a bogey of my own usually.

Nothing like finding a con, seeing he has advantage, working away his advantage while the fight slows & drops alt, working around on his 6, gaining his 6,  hes not a threat to anyone now, then one of the "ME" generation guys comes through @ 350MPH swoopping in from 10k & blasts him. or worse dives in front of your line of fire.

Of course the guys that do that move always have some lame excuse for doing it. They are typically extremely selfish & don't care about you, or anyone but themselves.
