I never thought that taking chutes out of this game would detract from it as much as it does. Bring back chutes to shoot !

Essentially yes. Chute pilots can end sortie the second that they bail. That's why you don't see them anymore.

Some reason people see chutes and get blood lust. I can't even remember making it to the ground in a chute under the old system.
Wgr 21 works great!

Now that you mention it I don't see a lot of chutes.  And to think I'm still waiting to hit the ground beofore exiting......

I guess when they bring back the sheep, the chutes can stay......  Will be a reason to float to the ground.

Errr.... Suave, it has been like that (in the Main Arena(s)) ever since i started playing this game. Im not sure what you mean there. You could always exit flight once you had bailed.


If this is an attempt at trolling another chute thread, im afraid Ill have to give it a 2/10... its really badly researched and stinky ;).
21 is only half the truth.

How long have you been playing? It wasn't that long ago that you couldn't end sortie untill you were on the ground.

Not a troll, just want Hitech to know that giving bailers preferentail treatment over chute shooters makes the game much more lame for us chute shooters.

Yip, I agree, there was a time, you open the chute, you ride it to the ground before you could exit.

Mind you I couldn't tell you when the change came in as I'm still riding mine down....:cry

i agree.



it also gives the suicide-bail-after-bomb guys get an easy go of it.


they should at least have to float down into the town ack and take it like a man.


i never shoot chutes as a general rule, and i stilll find the lack of them a detraction from the old aceshigh.
