I don't waste the ammo, unless the chute becomes a forward air controller for his country.

it is your duty to kill em... the 'chute' icon is annoying and distracting.

Chutes should be worth perkies.

I must say that this is the only disappointing facet of vulching.  The guys you shoot on the runway never bail, they just explode.  No chutes to kill.  :(

Shooting chutes is.. a waste of ammo and only pisses other players off needlessly.

It's only a waste of ammo when you miss.  Practice will help that though.

I was defending a field and destroyed a bomber at 8k then moved to destroy two attack planes that were hitting the town.  The pilot of the bomber had bailed and opened his chute at 7k.  I fought the two fighters then rearmed and launched in time to shoot the chute before he touched down.

Top that.

Shooting chutes is a nice way of lightening your load by firing off mgs,without your hit percent dropping :D

Shooting chutes is a fantastic way of improving your aim. Ever since I've started using chutes for gunnery practice, my hit % has increased, not to mention the fun value.
