They can also get many kills using the pistol: camp at plane spawn points when ACK is down - shoot at emerging pilots in the canopy as they take off.

So yeah, chutes are fair game.

Simple rules to live by in AH.....

Always take the cheap HO

Kill cripples cleanly (no playing with your food)

Vulching somebody builds character, vulching them a 2nd time increases IQ

If there is a piece of the bogey big enough for you to hit it...shoot it. After all your "team mates" would hate to be killed by a wingless wonder

When ever possible pull up thru any friendlies bullet stream as you pick his kill. Getting one of theres and one of yours keeps the sides balanced for good game play

If you cant fly thru him then try and check 6 him off his kill...

If its green use it for bait..

It's bad luck to be the 13th guy in on a lone bogy...

OK seriously,

There is only one rule that I try to follow faithfully, that (IMHO) is really of any big concern.

If you come across a ONE vs ONE fight, at a minimum, ask before getting involved. Preferably, wait till it is over.

You see people ignore this in the MA all the time, sometimes people ignore it when they are being ASKED buy the friendly pilot, NOT TO GET INVOLVED.

It completely floors me that people can be this rude.

IMHO, this is the one "rule" that should be followed. Obviously, purposely ignoring this is a testament to your personality in real life.

 Don't shoot chutes.
 

The only time I will shoot a chute is when they are bailing into a base we are trying to take.  I don't want them running to the map room.  Other than that, let em swing.

My guess here, please adjust accordingly:

 No intentional collisions.

Nuh uh.  If you're coming in a horde of LA7's, dweebin it up, I'm gonna use every ounce of ammo I have, then I'm gonna ram someone.  2 or 3 if I can get away with it.  

Rammed an LA7 with my Spit 14 last night after I ran outta ammo, as a matter of fact.

 Don't shoot chutes.

While they don't give me an actual kill, they are an incredible threat.  They can shoot cockpits from the end of a runway, they can provide tactical assistance via local vox, and a hole slew of other things.  You bail, you better be .ef'in because as soon as I see one they're next in line for a .50 cal enema.

 Keep radio and voice talk relevant.

You put 50 teenage girls on a party line and tell them to behave themselves.  Same principle here, and same result.

If I want cohesion and coordination, I'll talk to my squad.  

Answer noobs questions correctly, or not at all.

That's understandable, but who hasn't tried the alt-f4 at lease once? heheheh  C'mon- lighten up.  It's hilarious.  
 

Don't steal kills.

Maybe when I DON'T see 35 planes after 1 zeke turning like a top at .5K, I'll worry about stealing someone's "kill".  

Now, this doesn't mean shoot at the Spit XVI that's falling without it's tail-feathers- that's just being an prettythanghole.  

I understand understand we only fly cartoon planes , but Honor is an essential part of good character, and the more we practice it in life , the better we are for it.

True in life, not in Aces High.  Even Chuck Yeager vulched, dude.  While the idea of honor is idealistic and very well-intentioned, you have to remember that war is hell, and the only way to win it is to do what  good ol' Stonewall said:

"We must give no quarter to the enemy.  We must at once run up the black flag, and give them the bayonet without mercy, without compassion.  If we do this, then we will win our freedom."

What needs to be added to this list?

Hmmmm...... good question.  I would say that the best thing people can do is watch your countrymen's backs.  They got a con (or 5 or 6) on 'em?  Give 'em a break order to help you engage and plink off the chasers.  That's how I get most of my kills.

Is the honor code limited to 256 colors?

Honor code is an honor code, there isn't a set "code" for Example if I see a lone plane thats hurt trying to RTB, I will ask on 200 and if he responds, leave him alone, ive done this before and had someone let me go home.

but those are pretty much right, I follow those rules but have a few more, I dont intentionally Ho unless someone fires first, etc I won't pick someone trying to land, but alot of rules like this arn't really looked at.

Jeez Adonai... I WISH... I can not recall ever getting a break when trying to nurse a wounded bird back to base. Most of the time the time The "Bad" guys will pounce on a damaged bird for the easy kill. I commend you for your honor sir,  and I only wish that more of your "chute killing, HO'n, Dweebtard/ vulching and LA-7 upping" coubtrymen were so inclined! and

You gotta be a lib... You have just made an excuse for everything that the players see as WRONG/dishonorabl behaviour!!!

According to you there is no wrong!

I bet you could have justified Operation Babarossa! Something like: The Reich needs more space to expand and since the steppes are under-used by the Communists it is our destiny to use this land to its full potential and to our benifit, therefore our invasion is not only necessary, it is required for our national survival!

Boy, are YOU off base!  Registered repub, prolly the most conservative guy I know.   Not only that, I quoted a Confederate General

And what's "wrong" with the above activites?  They all serve tactical/strategic goals that forward that cause of the green guys, and hurt the red guys efforts.

According to you there is no wrong!

Ahem.

Are you even serious?  Comparing me to the biggest military blunder in modern history?  Not only the biggest blunder, but the biggest double-cross in European history?  Good lord, dude!  Get a grip!

I gave you very specific examples of why you SHOULD do the things you mention- Chutes are a damn menace.  They hurt my side with intelligence and canopy shooting, and they can hide in a bunker preventing a capture, away from all harm.  What's so "dishonorable" about negating that oppurtunity?

I'm not saying it's okay to be a jerk-off, but I AM saying if they hit you with a stick, whack 'em with a bat.    Do it the Chicago way!

I hate some of the people that dont follow this list >.>

I think it is honor for me to...

Dont kll RV-8s unless they are flying over your base
dont kill people if they arent going to harm you or you team or your bases
Dont kill people with smoke on unless they get on your tail or shoot you
Dont kill chutes unless they shoot you
Dont vulch unless necesary(or getting back someone who vulched you or your friend or a noob.)
Help noobs
let damaged planes live if they ask you to let them live or make an attempt to escape with no engine, losing oil or pilot wound or if they announce that they are running out of fuel.
Don't be scum and shot a noob that took off for his first time
dont kill when people seem to be flying straight for over 5 mins and are AFK

this is what i dont do and there may be exeptions(Their shooting you, bombing you base EXE....)

[RedTop]

After reading a few replies here , I'd say some of you need to quit.

I gotta agree with you here. Everyone knows the first thing I do before attacking anyone, for any reason, is ask, "Are you a noob?" If they say, "Yes" I leave them alone. I hate to say it but no one has yet to tell me they're a noob.

Question...does anyone know what channel frequency 200 is on?

In a past tour, I was killed by a chute (proxy??), so IMO chutes are fair game.
