Not true!!
The best chute killing planes are planes like the early 109s, and 190a5, any of the planes with .30 cal class machineguns are that would otherwise be worthless.

190A-5, 1800 rounds of chute killing pleasure.

Yeah, those are the only planes we chute shooters fly.  Because we're not honorable and the other ones are too hard for us.  Only the really good virtual gentlemen fly the tough planes, boy are they something!

I try never to use rockets on the church in hopes HTC has modeled the congregation running out in the street after the first pass.  I think you get extra perks for gunning down the pastor.

On a less tongue in cheek topic, one of my good friend's (good friends are EXPENSIVE now days) mother in law was IN germany during the war.  Towards the end she was riding her bicycle on the roads around her farm and get straffed by allied aircraft (apparently this happened more than once).  I discovered this one fourth of july while firing off tracers from my XM177E2; she went into a panic attack.  Talk about feeling HORRIBLE!  Won't EVER forget the look on her face.

Then you have to wonder what's so dangerous about a 14 year old girl on a bicycle that she deserved a straffing run.  I suppose she COULD be carring top secret communications from Hitler to Eichmann, but out in the middle of NOWHERE?

Dunno.  Pretty easy to judge people from 3,000 miles and 57 years away.  Hope they got what they were after.

LOL guys! LOOOOOL! :D

Talk about smearing the sarcasm a little thick! I don't know ... maybe I'm just too much of a realism buff to enjoy the "Nintendo" style gaming some people advocate here. A perfect WWII sim would for me be as close to 100% realism as possible. With 1:1 scale world and no navigational or targeting aids. Making perhaps two or three sorties a day with maybe a kill or two if I'm lucky. But hey ... that's just me ... apparently.

On a more serious note, Puck. I know the allies did some pretty distasteful things during the invasion of Europe (not that the Axis didn't as well mind you), but what you describe was probably abhorred by even the most hardcore-Nazi LW pilot. LW had a very strict code of honor/conduct, much like the Japanese, but not to the point of limiting the performance of their pilots. A lot of baby faced US and UK pilots did not have that kind of training, and then these things happen. I just wonder what people said when they watched the gun-camera footage, if anyone got the chance to see it that is.

On the point that strafing or bombing a church is a war crime, I'm afraid you're wrong X2Lee. WWII was a declared Total War were the civilian populations of both sides were considered nothing more than a "War Production Workforce". Shooting a pilot in his chute is also not a war crime, but was considered un-chivalry conduct by both sides.

I'm with Cooley and Nilsen10 on this one. I try to send a message to as many as possible in my fights, my executioners as well as my victims. Once I got a 190 who was vulching over my base. I was circling over the base gaining E, and he missed me on two passes. I turned after him, and when he was on the apex of his climb I ripped his wing of with my 30mm hub-cannon at about 1200 yards. I sent a message and got a in return. That's uncalled for ... that's not good sportsmanship.

Just squeezed the cannon trigger and held it in. He was stalling out so he was more or less static in the sky. I was about to stall too after having to climb after him. Shall we say 50-50 aiming and luck?  ... No, you're prolly right ... all luck. :D

.

You didnt say it was unchivary you said cowardly.
See your original quote

"Shooting someone in a chute is the ultimate display of cowardice."

Is it more cowardly than straffing a village with children in it?
My point is, this is a game. Its not real life. So dont try to call people cowards for playing a game.
Now if your talking RL? I agree with you a hundred percent.

Just know the difference in RL and a game ok?
I personaly think it takes a coward to bail in the game.
But hey thats just me     :cool:

Well, maybe.  If the chute was behind enemy lines I might be inclined to shoot at it.  If it was behind friendly lines I'd wave on my way by.  In one case you're getting rid of a potential threat, in the other the war is over for that guy.

TOTALLY (and I mean TOTALLY) off topic, I've been reading about JG26, and they made several mentions of pilots who were captured by the British, then repatirated in 1943.  Hrm?  Anyone know what the deal was with that?  The English were still at war in '43, why were they giving the Germans back their pilots?
