I personally think chute shooting is Chicken SXXX. I refuse to participate in this kind of lame behavior in game. If I got enough hits on someones aircraft to force them out of it... Hey I'm happy.

If you want to argue that .. oh they are just trying to pad their score by not getting killed in the aircraft and they should stay in it to let you get the KILL..... WHAAA!! Dial 1-800-976-WHAA for all your power whining needs.

Just my opinion and I dont expect anybody to follow my thinking. If you want to kill chutes... go for it... I just think you're a woose if you do this and I have no respect for you.

I think your confused ... the 800 number is for those meat-puppets that go boom while attached to silk ... for they are the ones that whine.

Well, if you dont have the brains to type .ef and you are just hanging there, I get confused and think that you are asking to be shot

No, I am not confused. I don't whine about getting killed if in a chute. If I do bail out I fugure somebody is gona kill me so I end the sortie. If I get biffed, oh well.... I up another bird and go back IN.... It's a GAME.

But my opinion is... if you shoot chutes.. you're a woose.. plain and simple.

Shooting down planes is fine, but I want a kill. If you bail, you're obviously trying to survive, and therefore should be executed.

If you bailed in the first place, you're an even bigger "woose".

When I fly Jap, I shoot chutes. Not because I enjoy it, but because it was standard routine for jap pilots. It's my way of flying 'in-character', and being historically accurate.

Not all Jap pilots did it, but many did. If I could ram bombers when flying Jap, I'd do that too. I only wish there was some way for Aces to allow jap fighters to ram bombers and do suicide attacks on carriers, and other ships. By ramming bombers, I mean actually being able to damage them, unlike aces which allows the ram but gives the bomber all the punch and the fighter nothing.

I would love to re-enact some of the great jap suicide attacks made during the war as a special events scnario.

Years ago, my squad was able to simulate a suicide attack on a carrier by flying zekes carrying a bomb. We would dive on the carrier and release our bomb just before we hit. It was a blast and after many hits, the carrier went down like a rock.

I used to do Ho's in a zeke, as many jap pilots did them. In Aces it comes out historically accurate everytime. THE ZEKE DIES. It got old real quick, so I decided to slightly modify my flying to be almost, historically accurate...

Honorable Wabbit-san,

Where are the FDB's?

It's times like this that I really miss them. Not that I agreed with them but they had such a clear, unvarnished point of view on topics like this.

I miss the fights at "Beer Mountain" too. Now those were battles.

The guy in the chute is only temporarily a non-threat. Once he gets on the ground and in a new airplane he is a threat again and can kill more of your comrades. Better kill him in the chute so he can't kill your buddies the next day. War is Hell.

As for AH, shooting chutes is fun. If you weren't supposed to shoot chutes, then they wouldn't blow up nice and pretty like. And as Toad pointed out, the whines make every round wasted on a chute more than worthwhile.

ack-ack

I give 6 calls when I bail. If you shoot me in the chute then I come back and find you and try to kill you. Thats what this game is all about. I will up untill all that kill me are down. Takes a while but I love this game.

I try killing more often.

OMG do some of these people know that this is a game ??
what is the diference between shooting a plane and a chute-apart from it's a smaller target and improves your aim- they are both just mounds of pixels on my monitor.
How can what you do in a game reflect what your character is in real life ? we are in a game killing people for fun, you think after the PC is shut down we go out and do the same in the streets ???

Hello !! reality check in aisle 7 please.

I think it is wrong to shoot planes, let alone shoots. I mean, this isn't even a real war. anyone who would shoot down my plane, just shows their true character. Also, If we should not shoot chutes because they have no defences, does the same to apply to goon? and what about the jerks who kill the drunks trying to take the town. I say you are all morally corupt, and I would choose not to associate myself with anyone who performs these activities as it can only further degrade the society in which we live in. One moment your town is fine, the next it is a war zone, filled with drunks, pimps, gamblers, drug dealers, and gun slingers.

haha, i love chute threads.

i would right more, but i am off to ponder my sins and figure out how on earth i can become a better person...as clearly by the way i play this game i'm not headed on the right track.

Its all about score. They wont admit it so they bring in honor and bla bla bla bla. Score is the only difference and only if over friendly teritory. Why else bail? To delay the next shortie? This honor thing its just BS by people who think that since they were able to hit enter 3 times, they deserver to keep some points

Really pathetic

I don't, its a waste of time and ammo. Especially when you don't get a reward
