Chute Towering
« on: October 12, 2008, 01:52:30 PM »
I`d like to see htc disable the chute towering function IMO
would give a guy fighting near a base more of a chance like it was in the old days
"guy bailed had to float down thus taking him outta the fight for a short time".
As it is now kill multiple cons and while your still fighting guy bails towers and quickly re-ups to get
his "revenge kill" i find this somewhat unsporting and frustrating.
For those guys whom don't like waiting to float down....don't get killed  :) Just my 2cents

Hadn't really thought of it that way before, however in most cases wouldn't that only save a few seconds over the recently defeated opponent just staying with his airplane and riding it to the ground?

I used to ride the chute down but got sick of someone shooting me to get what must be a nice ego boost by shooting the defenseless parachute.

Wouldn't help anything, I don't think... you just wouldn't open your chute.

I can tell you now, this would be my answer if this wish were implemented.

Make chutes automatically deploy after so many feet of free-fall. Problem solved. :D

Would certainly teach the drop-and-bail BUFF dweebs a lesson.  :P

But then people wouldn't even bail.  They would just ride the battered plane into the ground and then re-up.

Maybe, but at least they wouldn't be bailing from perfectly good BUFFs as soon as they drop their loads or an enemy fighter comes within 5000 yards of them.

They could still auger...although it's a little more difficult to do in a buff.  But I totally understand the idea.

no really they would just nose dive until wings fell off. the rest is easy.

I did this enough times (trying to drop alt) when I first started not realizing that getting too fast would do that.  :rofl

Used to be that way, this way is better.

No more complaints about chute shooters, etc.

Just back to the tower, grab a new plane and go do it again.

Anything that would cause frustration in the game is not a good idea IMO.  This would certainly cause it for those who want to get in their new airplane quickly.
