  I will never shoot a chute in the air. If it's safe, I'd rather do a close fly-by with a victory roll.
  Once they get on the ground though, they better go back to the tower real quick or I'll kill em.
  Haven't had that much of a problem with chute shooters here in AH. Now AW3 was a different story.
  I don't always bail. If the enemy that shoots me down does a particularly nice job, I like to reward em by riding it down. Kinda porked to have the plane you just nailed disappear and become a chute.

Hehehe, I think I never managed to shoot a chute...

but if I have the time and freedom to do it, any pilot that fired Hispanos at me (or Oerlikons Model 99) would deserve it...  

What I annoys me much more are kill-stealers... petition for killshooter off!!!    oops - hijacked thread...

Question:
If Chute riders were actually given 45 autos'
and Creamo bailed,
would he use the 45 auto to shoot himself?

Makes you wonder, eh?

Wow, that's heavy...

Lets see, if I bailed, I would indeed have to shoot myself for being a tard, yes.

Interesting, as we have no .45's, I still just don't bail. Why would anyone anyway?

It used to really tick me off.

Now I'd have to say it just makes me mildly pissed. Only semi-annoyed. Psuedo-provoked.

Nope; not like the old days. No-sir-eee-bob.

Nowadays I merely get mad.. not the frothing-mad-rabid-gotta buy a new stick, monitor, mouse, keyboard, ashtray, window, car, bail money kinda enraged anymore; mind you..

It's too damned expensive.

54Ed, I used to feel the same way as you at one time, until I had several missions that we created and launched, only to be spoiled by a enemy that hit the silk in the area that we intended to travel.

Now, I kill every bloody chute that is:
A) In the path of our flight...or..
B) Near his own airfield as we have a goon IB.

Consider me identified.

And, if you see me near your airfield, you bet your butt you'd better kill me, because I'm on the horn calling in every enemy position to my country.

LOL Hang...we always keep her greased for the new Latrine Scrubbers.

I have "earned" those lil red icons on the side of my plane    I usually spit beer outta my nose when my chute gets strafed its just party of the enjoyment.

Hi, my name is eagl and I'm a chute shooter.

*support group*  "Hi eagl"

(when you read this, remember it's only a game)

I'm a firm believer that sometimes the best teaching tools are Fear Sarcasm and Ridicule.  To that end, I have been known to take an occasional potshot at the descending chutes of my opponents if I feel that they need an extra dose of "who's da boss now eh?" after they let a weeb like myself shoot them down.

It's about setting the tone for the engagement.  On the rare occasions that I actually shoot someone down, I want them to know that not only did I best them in aerial combat, but I utterly destroyed them in the game of virtual life.  Being a good and gracious winner is for tournaments and duels where there are rules and stuff.  In combat, I play for the unequivocal WIN.  Also, if you want to come at me a second time, I'll kill you AGAIN, so bring it on mister smartypants.

That said, I usually auger or accidentally ram the steenking chute and kill myself instead of pinging it because I'm a weeb.  But at least I might have gotten my message across  

Hmmm... after reading this, maybe I should quit posting the same day after a Real Life (tm) student tries to kill me...
