(Just wanted to add this about real life. civilians should not think about what military does and why they do it.. Civ's just go by what was told to them or what they read ...
Dont know about that rule. must of missed it in training. Letting the enemy run around in friendly terroritory dont think that would be good idea either, why he is running around gathrering Information then trying to kill who ever he can to get back to his line to report it, we are talking the Germans and Japanese from those days . they were murderous fanatical killers. "that hopefully getting captured would cost lives. Downed pilots had one thing in mind what they were trained to do as we were in the Infantry ESCAPE by all means)
in game
This game is a game no one should really care who shoots who or how.. You get shot down they get shot down , Why cry about it.. the Chute shooting in game i do it when they land at base and stay, to me they are game spys giving info about where gv s are and letting thier country know where everything is at field . shooting chutes in the air ,
this is what i dont understand, from a grown up to boot
I was in P47 had ten rkts and 2 1000 lbrs. I cant fly those type planes in A2A but i can use them for taking a vh and such I took out the hanger and in 3 passes took out a m16 and a flak pnzer in rockets about 2k.. then next thing i know in text some one said i was full of Bull S*** cause they died.. first thing that came to mind.. That we are grown ups and what the hell is that about in text
.
And if you get shot down dont type in text excuses a lot of these players will never just go down and reup quietly , they have to tell you why you killed them but it will never be because you did. they will type a bunch of lame reasons just to try to deny you of it.. and to tell thier freinds that it wasnt really you that shot him down. "It was.... you were lucking the only reason you got the kill was casue i did not have any wings and tail and fuel and was bingo on ammo and had Pilot wound. other than that it was just a lucky shot...
i tell when i get killed when it is really stupid. like well i cant fly like a real pilot i just try what i can to get out and away from bullets. . i hate when i do these fancy things to just like crash into ground or hangers or side of mountains.. Or when i come in thinking i am real cool in p38 and find out about the word compression in air craft ..lol or when i up a plain dive bomb onhanger to find out i dropped two fuel tanks and got killed by ack.. Or my favorite one that gets me all the time. taking off forgetting to put gear up .. fly here this bang and look all over for someone shooting at me to look at dash and see yellow lights under the word Gear... games are like this to be fun not taken hard and lose sleep over it..
Ok done
