I guess all of this is dependent on one being tuned to channel 1

hehe I don't know which AW FR arena you played in, but it sure wasn't the one where I was playing.  We were a bunch of sadistic, no-quartering bastiges.

The parachute thing sort of pisses me off.  I was flying a buff mission wit a few squaddies last night in fact.  We did a high alt (25k) bomb run into Nit HQ when the nits were trying to roll against us (Rooks) en masse.  We made it to the target and got eggs off without being harrased (though someone shadowed us from a distance).  After turning for home we got beset by a bunch of fighters (amongst them a 262).  I shot down a few, and was tracking the 262 when a 109 crept up behind me an wasted my 2 remaining drones.  Obviosuly at 25k, you don't open your chute right away.  So at about 3k I open my chute and I hear the buzz of an engine.  Sure enough it's that bastard 109 that dove all the way down with me just to shoot at me when I opened my chute.  Why?  Funny thing is he landed 3 pings on my poor unarmored person and I still didn't die.

Ha!   There is no Chivalry

I remember this vividly, and recall it when ever I need to give AUB a hard time.

Back in the days when the GroveRats and the Cactus Air Force were on opposite sides,  we often worked together to create some good fights.   This was of course  AW in those days.  

One Night, I had finished a night of flying, killing and dying.   I landed my plane on a friendly airstrip.  I said good night to my squadmates and I started saying Goodbye to my old buddy AUB.  

Sure enough, AUB the Bastid swoops down thru the AAA to Vulch me on the runway as Im saying goodnight and wishing him well.   I mean, its that Low?   What a Jerk....     LOL!!  

I love to bring it up now and again and just tease the heckout him.   Inocent me, Vulch by my friend as I said goodnight.    You know.. that Gollum character from LOTRs said it pretty good...
"Aub... we hates it forever"   (JK)  ;)

So, Nope No Chivalry at all!   No Quarter given.

I always considered shooting chutes to a waste of ammo and a tactical blunder.  I already got the kill - why keep shooting?  If I pop the guy in the chute, he'll just get back to base that much sooner.  Let'em hang and reflect.

I've always considered shooting planes a waste of ammo and time, but it's hard to get the chutes to come out otherwise.

I squelch chnl 1 to save space in the text buffer.

I don't shoot planes (bombers or fighters) when I'm sure they'll no longer be able to inflict damage to my side.

I don't shoot parachutes.

I don't expect chivalry but I appreciate if it happens.

I would prefer a "codex" to rule in the MA because I like the ambiance of chivalry.

Maybe someone can tell the players the 80s and 90s are over. :p

Why not?  If I knew it would upset you enough to post about it on the forums, I'd do it too.  Hell, I'd probably do it anyway just because.

I've flown all of those except for AWMV... I'd skipped town for AH long before that monstrosity was unleashed upon the masses.

And even back then I enjoyed ruining chivalrous peoples' days.  :D
