Please change the Bail-Out model.

[Dead Man Flying]

I'm for adding this so long as we make a compromise for chute shooters by allowing them to catch the parachute cords on one of their wings.  Then they could take the gutless bailers through harrowing aerobatics demonstrations before smashing them against the realistically-modelled trees.

Would this require much new coding, HiTech?

Notice the instructions about Airspeed. Nylon was fairly new in WWII and it wasn't used for parachute harnesses until late in the war. Your cotton duck webbing harness would rip apart if you were going too fast. Many a pilot in WWII made it out his plane just to find himself thrown free of a torn harness and falling to his death. Try it when your plane is at the wrong atitude and you will strike the tail. Fire can destoy/weaken your harness/chute if you hesitate. You get a few burns but end up falling to your death because your chute is in tatters.

Because of these reasons which Kweassa covered already.

That answer your question. Murdr?

Bailing out successfully should be a major accomplishment. However, in the game where would it fit in points-wise compared to what it does now?

ummmmmm, no.  I replied to your prerequisite of flying the plane level with a real life example of bailing out of an out of control plane.......and I thought it was a good story

I hope it stays the same. If it became tougher to bail out, that would seriouly put a dent into the number of chutes to kill.

 Not true!

 If this happens, anyone who even bothers to bail outin this game, will try to bail out earlier than ever, before he falls into a state where he cannot jump, unlike in AH1 where you can bail out from a plane spinning to earth at 400mph.

 He will have to bail out ASAP in the early stages - which means, more frequent bail outs, more chutes to shoot!!

Marsailles plane was perfectly level if I remember right. He did a textbook bail out and died.  So what is your point?  Folks do get lucky and the guy in your story MOST certainly did get lucky.

Generally speaking you need to fly the plane like the pilots manual instructs to have the safest bailout possible.  To not do that is to court disaster. It should be the same in AH.

What I posted was a direct QUOTE from the 109 Pilots manual.
