Check the kill stats Plane vs. Plane.
Chutes vs. Any - chutes have a pretty good kill ratio.

Cause they're cheaters :

Ok, now I'm a guppy. What do you mean they are "cheaters"?

CombatWombat · « **Reply #3 on:** November 16, 1999, 04:23:00 PM »

They cheat becuase when someone tries to strafe them they alt+F4, causing the attacking plane to automatically stick-stir, and it slowly drifts into a mountain.

It might be possible that if you have a collision with a chute the chute wins.

or you too close to the ground to bail and chute fails. Could that be another answer???

I believe the answer is simple, it's a kill delay thing.

You HO a guy.. and you wing each other or hurt each other bad. You bail out and hang in the silk.. he dies or bails while you are in the silk. Voila.. one kill for the chute driver.

Any situation where you get the kill message after bailing will likely chalk one up for the chutes.

Well what ever the reason - it is a bug.

I believe we've found were all the Me109 experten have gone. The chutes are awesome. I even saw a chute taking on a clipboard over F4 the other night.

I think Lephturn has a good explaination and that probably accounts for most of it. BUT....hehe I KNOW know that Joemud is right too because I hit the bail button after being shot down in a B-17 that Joe was gunning for me and accidently hit the O and opened chute a lettle too high. Several fighters seemed to like the idea of straffing my chute! I didn't know but the plane had crashed so Joe was attached to my chute.. but with his guns hehe! he killed the Bastige and sent him to the deck!! SWEET REVENGE! but it is a bug!

Found the bug today. The chute kills are kills awared to someone who has bailed. I.E. you damaged a plane, Bailed, While in you chute the plane you shot dies. The system awards you a kill and you are currently in a chute.

I'ts fixed for the next release.
