I thought it was in very poor taste to kill a guy hanging helpless in a chute. I have read reports of pilots saluting a worthy opponent.  I think I won't do it   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It's bad form.  But if the guy has it coming...

Keep in mind it was done on occasion by all sides in WW2.

hello:

to start with, in WWII pilots did shoot down guys under chutes, so he could not come back tomorrow and shoot him down, yes it did happen. as for here in this GAME, the only chutes I will shoot, are the guys that are more worried about there scores then they are about helping there team out by defending a field because they might get vulched. I have been vulched by more people at more fields then probably anybody else, I will do not give up trying to hold a field for my team, and the hell with my score. but there are those that will never defend a field, they must have 5k alt advantage and 2/1 or 3/1 advatage before they will engage so as not to hurt there scores. so if I know one of these guys is under that chute I see floarting over there, yeeha, here i come guns a blazing,
ratatatatatatata blast the chute and I would be more then happy to let the person know it was me who shot him. and if he wants to track me down and blast me for it, go for it. I have been shot well under a chute and could not care less, and if you dont like been shot well under a chute, open lower, try to get your plane some place it will be safer to open your chute,or go down in flames,
BUT PLEASE STOP THE CHUTE SHOOTING WHINNING.

So why didn't HTC make 'chutes bullet proof?

Criteria for shooting chutes...

1.  They must be within range of your guns.
2.  You must have ammo to fire from your guns.

I've tried, but can't come up with anything past number 2!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

i gotta say i think shooting chuts is annoying.after all why bother jumping out if everyone shoots you in the parachute?i like buzzing chutes but i never shoot em. only sick pilots in WW2 shot chutes...eg nazi type pilots and nutty japs  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)i dont want to act like them thanks
i watched a programme once where an american pilot described seeing his friend killed by a 109 in his chute and he said  'i blew the sick son of a squeak to hell.i never stopped firing until he exploded'  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

True, nobody dies, but it is an attack on the person after a fasion.  It is an insult that says "I have no respect for you!!!".

On Sunday I was flying a Niki from a capped airfield, after and extensive chase multiple bandits finally brought me down.  I bailed, giving the kill to the guy who got me, I opened my chute at low altitude so that I wouldn't be too tempting a target.  After I open my chute, I start typing a S! message to the victor.  About halfway through this, I land.  So there I am, on the ground, near my on airfield, typing a S! when what happens?  Some dweeb straffes and kills me.

Now that goes completely against the grain of what I was doing and had done.  I didn't try to ditch and rob the victorious pilot of his kill.  I didn't have time to spy, as if there was anything to spy on that close to my own airfield.  That was simplying an insult from an immature person who gets his rocks off by irritating other people.  Of course I have no idea who the guilty party is, but a dweeb they certainly are.

Not shooting chutes is simply a mark of respect for ones vanquished opponent.  I will never shoot a chute, even if he's done it to me.

I guess that one difference is that some of us do a bit of roleplaying while we fly.  To us getting killed is bad and we don't like it.  The only reason we would do such to another is  to insult them and so we project those intentions onto other players.

Another group of players doesn't roleplay while they fly, they enjoy the technical skill.  To them shooting a chute or being shot in a chute is nothing much and they see others the same way.

Neither approach is better, they're just different and sometimes they clash and somebody gets upset.

I figure if a guy has been shot down that's enough. What's more humiliating then to be seen hanging there in a chute? (unless you just did something heroic and got shot down in the process).

But it is wrong to think of chute killers as goofy twerps who have no liking or respect for the rest of us. Did anyone ever consider that they just might be lonely people in need of fulfillment. That they might just be human beings who cherish the simple and forlorn hope that they are 'real' men. You know, tough, angry, meat-eating, red-blooded anti-heros who are unable to restrain their admirably animalistic urge to slaughter all. Perhaps these 'real men' deserve understanding and indulgence. So here's a wink and a nudge to you 'badass' chute killers. It takes a 'real' man to do what you do - the rest of us understand that underneath you are sensitive, fragile, caring, worthwhile human beings. You are just 'good old boys'.

Therefore, you can feel free to shoot me when I'm hanging in my chute and get out some of the frustrations and rage that your painful inadequacies must cause you - I will understand.

With all my simpering compassion,
Fluf

I have other things much more important to worry about, I dont take this game so serious that I would find shooting a chute floating down as a crime against humanity.  It isnt a real person, nobody really dies, and life goes on for all.

Well I remembered that he did it because, with the ditch the german had denied him a victory, or something like that...

I read that stuff ages ago, sorry, in a book I saw in a friend's house (who after that lend it to me so I could read it in MY house not HIS  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)), I was 14 or something like that, and I remember very badly the story.

Just for arguement sake, as far as score goes; a death, bail or capture, all count as a "death" when the stats computer crunches the numbers.  You may take away a few of the guys fighter points (if he earned any that sortie) when you kill him in his chute.  It's no big dif.

I know a guy who only shoots chutes when he is in a Japanese plane.  
I know another guy who only shoots chutes when he is drunk.
I know of guy who does it just to piss people off (we all know him  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ).
It's just a game, so don't try to read too much into peoples motivations.

Ever here of Rudolf von Eschwege?

The only German pilot in the Macedonian front during WWI, had over 20 victories before the allies rigged an observation ballon with explosives, which he strafed and they killed him.

Anyway, since alot of times he had no way to confirm his victories, three different times he shot up planes and motioned for them to land. He then took them prisoner and waited for a German partol to come along and escort the prisoners back to Darma field, Greece.

Funny part was though, the British Royal Navy pilots were treated extremely well because Eschwege was very happy to finally have other pilots to talk to!

Relevance? None. Well he did know Ernest Udet, who was a desk jocky, for the Luftwaffe during WWII, directly under Goring, who was a superior to the German that got strangled at some point.

Torque is one of the few that get it. In AH, all that shooting a chute does is allow the guy to replane faster. It actually is more of a favor than an evil deed. Apparently most don't see it that way, but it is... unless you pulled high for the vantage point.

I never will understand the big deal on chute shooting. What makes it even more fun is how it pisses off some of the people and makes them careless in their flying while bent on revenge.

I've done it, do it, and will continue to do it. It is only a computer simulation for cripes sakes.

Toad,
Keep in mind that the chute shooters are the "you VILL conform" group.  They are the ones who are forcing their view on how the game should be played onto the rest of us.  I have no choice about being shot in my chute or not, it is entirely in the hands of the guy with the multi-ton pile of metal, aviation fuel and guns, not the guy with a few pounds of silk and rope.

I am flying just to enjoy myself.  I try not to piss other guys off while I do it because I want them to have fun too.  When somebody is doing something to piss others off, as in:

There is a decidedly selfish bent to that person.  He finds others frustration to be amusing.  He is reducing other's enjoyment to increase his own.  I don't mind getting shot down, thats part of the game and it doesn't reduce my enjoyment of the game.  Getting shot in my chute is like being slapped in the face.

Funny how he says he'll never understand it, but then comments on how it pisses people off.  Sounds to me like he's got a pretty good grip on the idea and does what he does just to be a jerk.  Common courtesy is going the way of the Dodo in the good ole U.S. of A. it seems.

That's a nice blanket statement...I quite enjoy killing chutes, and I think you'd have a hard time finding me stating that others should play the game the way I think they should.  On the other hand, you seem to want me to play the game the way you want me to.  I like to shoot chutes, so I do it...you don't, so don't.  You can speculate on my reasoning for it all you want, but I just view them as more targets that blow up when I shoot 'em.

There are also some people in the game who get pissed off when they get killed by an H.O. they could most likely avoid, vulched at a field with no ack that they keep upping from despite no defense, and on and on and on.  If we all flew just like everyone else wanted us to, then we'd just be flying in formation, looking at the pretty sheep as we fly by 'em low and slow.  mmmm...sheeep...baaaaa

Anyhow, blah, blah, blah, this thread has taken a turn for the stupid IMO, so I'm just gonna go fly and kill things...including chutes...and sheep if I could watch 'em blow up...and squadmates, despite killshooter!

SOB,
The difference is that you don't deliberately HO them to get them pissed.  In other words, whether they get pissed or not is entirely out of your hands, unlike when you shoot a chute.  Its up to you whether or not you do it, and nothing I say or do will change that.  I'm simply expressing my point of view.  I'm not saying that all chute shooters do it to get the chutist pissed.  Renfield quite specificly stated that that was why he was doing it.

Like I said, ride it into the ground and you don't have to worry about getting chute sniped.

Playing the "fallen hero" vs "evil pilot" is much better then the "dweeb chutest" vs "superior pilot"

Besides if you open your chute before a thousand feet ya deserve to be shot anyway  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

   I shoot chutes cause they move real slow, they can't shoot back, and there the only thing I can hit.  I SHOT THE CHUTE.....BUT I DID NOT SHOOT THE DEPUTY.     (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

 Karnak I agree except for the fact that that it is better to be pissed off than pissed on. Now whether or not a person becomes pissed off or just pissed can depend on several factors.Did he get pissed off cause someone shot his chute, or is he just pissed cause he bailed...Im getting out of this thread. Its gettin me pissed off. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Agreed.

And to clarify, all those ranting and making their little lists of who they won't help because they shoot at chutes - those are the ones I enjoy pissing off. And yes, I do enjoy pissing them off. I figure anyone telling me that I have to abide by their idea of what are sacred pixels and what aren't are about as full of it as they can get without popping their top.

If chutes were supposed to be invulnerable, they would be. It happened in real life. Many examples too.

So fly your way and don't shoot at chutes if that is your pleasure. But quit whining about me doing it... and maybe I'll not do it so often. Or maybe not.

The ability to shoot chutes gives us the opportunity what kind off sim. pilots we are.
Any selfrespecting squad doesn't allow it.

The one who doesn't shoot chutes is a gentleman in my opinion.

The one who shoot's them are ....fill it in for ur self.
Maybe quake suits them better.

I will even defend heavyily damaged enemy plane's who try too ditch.

If we all commit ourself to some rules the athmosphere in AH will be much more off a adult one. point out.
Shooting chutes is a war(sim.)crime  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

No no..
Its STUD.
Studs shoot chutes.
Studs love it when you complain about them shooting your chute, then they can all gang in and point out that you are complaining.
Studs assume any comment at all, even about the size of a rivet have a political bias.
Studs know their country is the best.
Studs know their chess piece is the best.
Studs never fly THAT plane.
Studs never fly any of those other planes.
Studs planes are undermodeled.
Studs never complain.
Studs just point things out.
 But if you disagree with a stud, your complaining....
Studs dont complain about Gang bangs.
Studs just point it out.
Then studs log.
Studs dont like it when people defend bases they want to capture.
Studs prefer that the bases they want to vulch be defended.
Studs dont like it when their dweeby enemies get the two mixed up.

Thats most of it. If you are wondering why studs shoot chutes, its so that the rest of us dont have to go sniff fire hydrants to know that they are there.

If you can get them before they pull the cord, you get bonus bullets and a bullet range powerup.

Hi All,

Quastions... Does shoting chutes Help your score?,
Does being killed in a chute harm your score?

Do I shoot chutes.... No
Do I mind being shot. No

But.. IMO yuu are probably doing your country a favour by leaving them hanging (& out of the game). - see point 1

What are HTC's views on this? (Ask the field ack) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
