I was wondering if this thread was related to the new AI substitution on disconnects.
I have noticed that not all my disconnects end with me happily back behind the yoke in the cockpit.
Sometimes you get a bailed message or other, but my memory can't recall if other messages include captured or even killed? What I do actually have film of is a chute that actually showed up on radar as an enemy con, and was made out of bullet proof material. I am not mistaken about the bullet proof description, as I filmed run after strafing run with hit sprites and collisions into the deng thing. When it finally hit the water, the dar and alarms stopped reacting to it's presence.
Let me know if you need the film.
