You can bail out?

Ride it in all the way, guns fireing.

Who cares about score & rank anyway?

Dieing is an important part of immersion.
Take the time & find a style, do it right!

If you are able to bail out successfully, and land without being shot by 'evil types', then - if you can (eventually) get back to a friendly field you should be able to retain any perks earned during the previous flight.

But we need to be able get a lift back on a GV or a plane - please please please.
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

I also didn't realize that you could .ef immediately after bailing.  I guess I will be bailing out from now on.  Thanks for the tip Batfink.

Can you also bail at any time when after the chute has opened?

No need to even open the chute.  Just hit bail and then .ef or click tower.

Only time I bail and OPEN my chute is over an ENY base. After my 45 is empty I tower out.

Any other time I bail I don't bother opening my chute, my only wish is to have the option to free fall naked.

bail out, give the rightfull killer the kill, tower faster, back to the action faster.




This is the reason I bail out almost everytime I lose a critical part. More should do this especially those who are in phurball areas.

Your not going to land, give the guy who shot you the kill. Not the dweeb chasing your wreck.

I use to bail out all the time.  Of course it was by hitting the key 3 times accidentally.

I finally remapped my bail key to . . ummm. . .wait a minute and I'll find it . . . ahh hell.

Ouch out.

bailing from typing too fast is the number one reason i bailed...

second was i was pissed off at who shot me down, and i wanted to try and plug them with the .45

bail, chute, pop,pop,pop,pop,pop at the canopy on that jerk that shot me, then .ef when pistol is empty.

This must be addressed and fixed. This gives chute pilots a distinctly unfair advantage.

At my altitude I don't need to worry about bailing out.  Not like there's anyone else up there with me =)
