In real life you kill people in chutes to make sure the guy doesnt come back in a different plane tomorrow and kill you.

In AH you kill chutes just because you can. All meat bombs must die.

I will shoot a chute if I see it. Then see the whines on 200 just because it will hurt their score instead of getting a bail they get "You have been killed".

I wont go out of my way to shoot a chute, but if it is over a town I need or base I will take it out. Bailing over your own maproom to camp? I have seen it. Why do you think it takes 20 or so troops to take a field? Think about it.

As in real life. I didnt get to ask my Granddad that. I havent seen it in his diaries and I expect I will not. I am not sure that it was exaclty condoned or condemed by either side. It happened I am sure of.

The Soviet pilot then walked back to his plane, got in and took off. 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.

Not only that, the creator of this game says the object is to piss the other guy off, doesn't he?

I never straff chutes because I need all the ammo I can get to shoot down those that are a threat to me.

Does not bother me at all if someone shoots down my chute.

The parachute just represents another target of opportunity. I do not take any part of this game seriously. Pop the shoots. HO, Bomb the gas pumps in the airfield. It is all what you want to make of it.

Just have fun.

I think I'm going to try and fire rockets at a chute. I haven't done that yet.
