A request since BETA that's never been fulfilled

[Ripsnort]

In regards to Chute shooting:

Please provide our pilots with a sidearm!

Thanks!  (I know, its a one in a million shot, but hey, you *could* wound the pilot! and besides, it makes you feel like you literally went down fighting!)

My unfulfilled request since beta is to include new gore effects for killing chutes.  I don't want to just shoot them and have them blow up in front of me.  I want their blood and innards painting my canopy.  I want to have to avoid the giblets as I pour 20mm into the dangling piece of meat 100 yards in front of my guns, else I become blinded by the goo marring my forward view.

I want the ability to land the plane at the rearm pad and have the ground crew wipe the intenstines from my canopy so I can go out and do it again.  And again.  And again.  Oh, and I want a seperate kill streak counter for chute killing with a monthly stat keeping track of the top chute killers.  When you land after a long sortie filled with Geneva Convention violations, it should say something like:

"Leviathn has landed 6 kills in a Spitfire Mk V and 18 chute kills."

LOL, I think that's stretching it alittle..it would no longer have a "Family" rating for the sim (and my 6 yr old would no longer be permitted to fly!)

I'd like to see my Chute pilot becoming a real boy instead of the Gumby like displacement it has. Heck even WB3 has drunks that actually have joints.

That and  craters

I lost my favorite dog, a cute golden retriever pup named Scruffy, when a callous parachutist crash landed on top of him one day.  Ever since that fateful afternoon twenty years ago, I've harbored nothing but contempt for all things in a parachute.  "If only I had a way to splatter the rat bastards with 20mm cannons," I thought wistfully.  Then along came Aces High and lo!  While graphically primative, the notion of punishing the bailing chute weenies sold me on the game forever.  Now I only fire my Spit V's .303s at enemy planes in order in order to force the pilots to bail, then I fill their fleshy, chute-strapped bodies with 20mm love and think about how Scruffy must be happy up in Puppy Heaven.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's fun to shoot chutes.  The signal to noise ratio alone is worth the effort in time and ammo.

Well, thanks for not shooting my chute after shooting me down last night! I guess I was too close to the ground to be worth the trouble...

I must've missed it against the dark sky and ground.  Curses!!  I'll get you next time!

Rather put my lead into enemy craft then waste on a chute

Ever flown a Spit V?  It sports 1400 rounds of .303 -- good enough for two or three plane kills OR 1400 chute kills.

Now you tell me which use wastes more ammo?

...and that would cut Rip's score and ranking by 80-90%!

I'd like to see chutes have some sort of collision modeling so you can fly into them and let your props chew them up.
