Chutes

[dedalos]

I wish HT would change it back the way it was.  If you want to bail then you have to wait till you get to the ground before .ef

Every time I try to shoot one they .ef to the tower.  

I don't think it is fair that the guy that was just trying to kill me can get to the tower before he makes it to the ground.  Not fair about scoring either.  We may as well hit enter 3 times and then .ef right away to avoid deaths.

i wish we could shoot the silk bit of the chute and make them fall to their deaths like in IL2.

Now you do the thinking of why this sounds so horribly wrong

But thiz is teh war#@#$$@ NO MURCEY@#!$$@%#$@

I also would like .ef removed, but only when you open the chute. Bail and teleport out while falling? Fine, but leave us the rest to shoot.

If you haven't discovered the joy of shooting silkmonkeys down, I strongly encourage you to try it.

I have come to the conclusion its lame and a waste of ammo to worry about shooting a chute while its in the air. If its on the ground, shoot it. The pilot had a chance to goto tower while they descended and hit the ground.  Those who take joy in shooting the shoot in the air deserve to have it disapear before they can shoot it down.

Only time I shoot chutes, is when they are giving 6's to enemy.  Otherwise, I watch em float keeping them out a craft THAT MUCH LONGER.

Spare the gun, spoil the pilot.

whats the difference in falling to your death in an aeroplane, to falling to your death in a parachute?

[Brenjen]

I bail & tower becasue it's faster than falling....& I do a whole lot of falling - burning - bailing - towering. I got an idea...become a better shot & blow me up if you don't like seeing me escape in my silk:p  

 Hey, I'm already the worst fighter jock in AH, what're ya gonna do....kill me dead'R?

I've come to the conclusion that shooting chutes is a fantastic way of improving your gunnery skills. It's not all that easy to hit a small little clump of meat hanging at the bottom of that parachute.  I also like Furball's suggestion that you can shoot the parachute so it fails and causes the pilot to plummet to his death.
