no you can't.  I tried to use my props the other night to see if I could grind the poor schmuck that bailed out and all I did was fly through him and had to make the meat bag pop with a 20mm round instead.

Not a bad idea. Perhaps when a pilot kills the parachutists, a small reward can go with it. Lets say, 0.1 perk for each parachutist killed. Would give the AH pilots a reason to shoot at them while theyre falling from the sky.

Your a disturbed man Plazus. Why would you need a reason to shoot at guys dangling helplessly from a parachute?  :lol

Shotgun is partially correct.

I'm reading a book right know titled The Bomber Boys by Travis L. Ayres. It depicts the war stories of several B-17 crews from the 8th Air Force. At one point it mentions that the crew of a b-17 only took one waste gunner to pull double duty for both right and left guns.

U stay farr away from my meat bag!
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

I really like the idea, it would make really great screen shots from scenarios as well.

I would recommend a small bit of free fall time so the attacking fighters are running into the bailed AI on a routine basis.
