6 calls from a chute?

PaintMAW... Finally they have seen the light. I knew you understood this from the very first day. I salute your Pioneering Spirit that seems to have helped pave the way in the understanding and clarity of the fine art of Spy Shooting! hehe

There is also one kill I relish. That is when you have to climb to a fighter at 30k.. chase him all over the arena. Finally he thinks he has an advantage and dives to fight. He makes one error in gudgment and gets flamed after numerous attacks from above you. Now the sweetest part!!!.. he bails... but you point your Mustang toward the deck. You chase him down and kill him in the freefall!.. That MAKES MY DAY!  

Salute

Me thinks he might have gotten a "check 6" from a chute. Even if he didn't.. the question still remains... should it be possible? I understand they can still use RW or the comms.

Duh.

6 call from a chute...
About as cheesy as a 6 call from a tank, or a 6 call from another plane that is so far away that in real life he would have no clue what your name was but in AH he can just read the magic icon.

I see nothing wrong with shooting chutes, they shouldnt of bailed in the first place ;-). I don't shoot chutes for the sole reason of being flamed to hell.

Do you carry around a bag of chips and place it on someone's shoulder just before acting like an ass.. just so you can blame the other guy?

So... before he could have simply made the call via the text buffer. I don't see the issue. It's all the same.

Blame who for what? man your an intolerant person. You would argue with a white wall to tell it it was black. You make your own arguements to satisfy yourself. Some folks just have to have a crisis to be happy. Go fly and have fun M8.

That's his point sandman.  It's not the chute six call that's unrealistic, it's the whole system, where we can track and id several aircraft from miles away, whether in a tank, chute or aircraft.  If you read accounts of WWII air combat, six calls weren't that effective: part radio discipline, part when the bullets started flying it was hard to tell which friendly was which, and part the radios weren't that good.
So it's a concession to gameplay -- you can hate it or like it, but singling out comms from parachutes as particularly unrealistic is untenable.

Hazed, pilots in chutes aren't defenseless.  They can use comms, and they can (and usually will) replane after they land/die.  Shooting the chute denies them comms, speeds their replane, and irritates them.  Ok, if you want to make a good impression on someone, you don't do it.  But if you want to make that guy get so mad he'll spawn from a vulched field and give you some more kills, I say it's the best way.
