Shooting chutes
« on: July 23, 2008, 05:39:23 PM »
I think we should shoot at bailed pilots.  The reason is when I bail I try to shoot at the planes with my .45.  I figured it was redundant but kind of fun.  Well when I was looking my pathetic score I noticed I have two kills in my chute.  I thought that was great.  I am still a threat floating through the air... :rock

bail over a town or my airfield and I'll kill your chute, a few other reasons but rare.

It's a great way to improve your gunnery skills and piss off the other guy.  Win-Win in my book!

Just what we need , more angry/ignorant flaming on 200.

I dont shoot chutes. Nothing to be gained in pissing off people you dont know for no reason.

But a guy riding a chute past all reasonable time to hit tower, and to do so near a town with his little .45?? Different story.

hmm I put shooting bailed pilots alongside executing POWs, wouldn't do it for real, dont do it in AH. as a bonus if they want to take a 5min ride to earth, thats 5mins that pilot isnt in a plane.
