Author Topic: Need some screenshots of chute shooting (Read 1228 times)

streakeagle · « **on:** May 12, 2006, 06:17:34 PM »

I have encountered someone that is a little sensitive to chute shooting and I want to rub his hairs the wrong way for a bit. Could those who have good screenshots and/or avi's of some fun and fabulous chute shooting exploits help me out?

I want to post lots of images of people having fun shooting chutes in his private forum since he seems to think

"its indefensible to kill someone who is compeltely helpless. When he is in his plane, he has a chance. In his 'chute, he can't even run. If that is your idea of fun, well I don't even know what to say."

He can't seem to comprehend that games are meant to be fun and that sometimes behavior that would be inappropriate or even illegal in reality makes for some good laughs when you are just playing a game.

The funny part is that he has no problem bombing/strafing defenseless trucks and merchant ships, or even dropping nuclear weapons on entire bases... but shooting a virtual bailed out pilot should get me arrested for even thinking about it.

A movie I saw a long time ago had a good line for people like this...

"Lighten up, Francis!"

Haha, wish I could help out, don't have any vids or pics of that though. Some of the old timers might have some. Chute shooting is one of the last pure artforms left in AH.

A good read is "Chute strafing in AvA". Just do a search and you'll find it. It's been edited but you'll get the idea. I actually have the film that inspired the rant but I'm unable to post it. If you want, private me an email and I'll send it to ya.

Wow, so what you're saying is that some people still don't know that in the Main Arena you can just click tower from the chute? Some people still ride the silk all the way down after two years of AHII?

Thats pretty funny (lame)

The forum I used this for is private, but here is the context I used the above topic and film, thanks again:

In Aces High, chute-shooting is not only modeled, but essential to gameplay. Base take-overs are accomplished by dropping infantry out of C-47 aircraft. Defending fighters are obliged to shoot them as quickly as possible to save their bases. In addition, pilots are scored on various parameters including safe returns to home base. If a player chooses to bail out, you can lower his score by shooting his chute.

This film shows one such incident (click on the thumbnail to see the video).

In this particular case, the player that was shot down immediately went to the message boards and cussed up a storm. Of course all of the old veteran pilots laughed at him in this very entertaining thread (although the posts of the offended player were deleted since they failed to comply with message board rules):

If I remember correctly the Fat Drunk Bastards made it an art form.

its pretty funny.

I guess the guy finally saw my post (which included a little bit more text than the above in reference). Rather than reach a rational agreement to disagree on the idea of chute-shooting, I got banned from his forum

Give us a name so we can infest his forum with chute shooting pwnage.
