We have points , and rank system.
How about another one

HONOR ranks, to decrese silly kamikadze flights on MA. When somone climb up to 20 k and trying to voulch take over speed and crash in tho enemy runnway. Stop or decrese chute kills, head on ram's.
Honor system can bring us back to "knights fights", when honour was really importand.

Each pilot will be ranked in honor score system

example:

succesfull landing: + 5 points
chute kill: -100
ram another plane /no matter u was rammed or somone ram u/: -3
ditch kill /for winners/: +10, :+1 for /looser, if he survive/
pilot kill: +20 /fast and clean death for opponent;)/
ground crash: - 10points
air victory /enamy bail/: +25 for winners: +1 /for bailed if he bail safe/ :-5 /if he die after jump/
goons troops-resuply driving: +30 /if succesful/, +10 if goon reach enemy airfield

and couple more
i need to think more about scoring points.
Anyway honour rank system should promote flying "with head".
Decrese stiupid kamikadze voulch, promote correct beahevior.
Be alternative for score system which one promote now voulch, and ostie fields raids

I think many of us play AH bicose they need feel like WW2 pilots, which one we know from books, allways honorable againts opponents. And dont wonna heore on main channel "war is hell" or smh like this

how about that?

i hope u understand my bad english

I hate kamikaze vulchers or those that follow you into ack in a spit or nik just to get a kill they know theyll die 2 seconds later after that.

I'll shoot lanc,nik,spit,la7 and bish typh chutes always though.

do something with the silly chute shooting aswell, cause that is the worst.

The chute shooters can go and kick their dogs or beat up their grandmothers while they are at it.

chute shooters are the number one example of the moral downfall of this planet.

and below comes the whining from those who dont see it "cause its just a game".....

er the people who shoot chutes wont care about an honour score.

they will probably take great delight in getting the worst score so they can claim to be the most evil pilot.

The people that shoot chutes are just waisting their ammo on you the kill has already been awarded and they get nothing for killing a chute but on the other hand if they dive on you and then auger you get a proxy kill on them and this does count for you. The more ammo you get them to expend on your chute the better off your teammates are as that is just that much less they have to bring down your squad mates.

When I first started playing this game 1yr and 4 months ago I felt like ya'll do now about it not being honorable but there was no way of stopping it and then I started to realize the spits and la7s was shooting a lot of ammo most even running dry on my chute and then getting killed by a teammate because they had no ammo so I started laughing at them.

The only time I shoot at a chute is when someone bails out over a base to be a forward observer for fire control direction and I will expend every round to stop the correction of ships guns if need be.

Just my opinion.

There are only 2 reasons I do not shoot chutes.

1) When I don't have time because of nearby badguys (meaning there's a bogey on my 6)

or

2) When they bail and open thier chute above 20k

Three good reasons to kill Chutes:

1) The guy pops his chute at 10K and you are doing him a favor

2) The guy is potentially hanging around "spotting" for his buddies (check 6, town down, etc.)

3) Because there's a chance that the guy will get *really* worked up over it and get stupid trying to hunt you down

chute shooting was common in ww2, why should it be any different in the game? some guys bail to keep their k/d ratio's high. I rarely expend the ammo on chutes, but as pointed out, sometimes you just gotta

.

As far as honor in ww2 the chute shooting paralleled the submarine war -- at first ships were stopped and the crews allowed to abandon ship. After a few incidents where the sub was fired on while waiting for the ship's crew to get off, that courtesy died. Same with chutes - once a few got popped, paybacks were otw. Not all guys would shoot a guy hanging in a chute, but many would just to keep from having that enemy pilot kill a friendly tomorrow.

and the air war was not always honorable - it was kill or be killed.

Bailing out has no effect on your k/d vs just riding the plane into the ground. The only difference between bailing and dying, is a few 'damage points' in your score. Chutes are a perfecly good use of the .30 caliber mg's which are otherwise useless.

One question,
Why would you get points for killing the pilot in the plane, but not when they bailed? It'd make more sense to me to offer bonus points for killing the chute! Or subtract points for not giving the pilot the opportunity to bail out.

A nice post, all in all, a rather well disguised chute-shooting whine.

Chute shooting bothered me once apon a time..but I looked into it and found what he said...it was common in ww2. Some of the top allied and german pilots did it. They never lost any "honor"
its war. The pilot is worth way more then the plane.
Learn to open your chute low....

But both of my grandmothers are dead and I dont have a dog. What do I do then?

I would endeavor to achieve the lowest score possible.

Ladies and gentlemen, I must apologize. It would appear that I am responsible for furthering the moral decline of our sad little planet. Please forgive me.

...but i enjoy it so.

If you play a war game, don't be a puss and cry when someone kills you. Its just lame.
