One thing this game really needs ... a way to know who just shot your parachute.
I really can't think of anything more lowlife than shooting pilots in the harness. The bad thing is, you don't even get a message telling you the name of the dishonorable loser who shot you. It's bad enough that this happens, but it shouldn't be annonymous. The dirtbag who does it should have his name on a system message for all to see.
I've been around the net long enough to know that there is a fixed percentage of idiots on any online activity. I now expect those idiots to reply, attempting to justify their action or just to get my goat. I welcome such posts, so I will know who not to support in the arena EVER.

I view it as a quick trip back to the field. Just think if I float down it will be up to several minutes before I get a chance to replane. If I get shot in the silk then I go straight back to the tower and replane instantly. Nice. No muss no fuss. Do I shoot chutes? Not on purpose just for that reason!

I remember over at WB's it was generally accepted by most everybody that chute strafing was a bad/dishonorable thing to do. You will soon learn that its pretty common over here though. And the ones who do it are pretty darn proud of it, as you will soon see. It pisses you off when it happens, but it generally gives you something to do for the next little while, hunting the terd down. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

i like to sing a lil' song after i liberate someone from the bonds of their chute:
'i got yer chuuuute i got yer chuuuute'
have fun ed (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) - if you want to avoid gettin' de-chuted, open it closer to the ground - it will keep scoundrels like myself from doing things that upset you - have fun ed!

I wonder if everyone prefers Rocket's unauthentic way of 'fast replaning'..
naah.. I don't think so.
People doesn't seem to do nowadays nothing more than piss of other people.. whats wrong with people today?
hmm.. i guess it's lack of education
-
Hi
I agree with hblair and Fishu chute shooters are pathetic people, even more pathetic is the fact that some of them actually take pride in their "accomplishment". Lack of education, culture, respect, and just plain common decency in kids and sadly many "adults" today is probably to blaim for this.
thanks GRUNHERZ

I shot Zigrat's chute today! It was fun! If I shoot a chute I will gladly take credit for it. There should be a kill message and bonus points IMHO. Feel free to kill my chute!

LOL Groinhurts, you don't actualy take everything you just said serioulsy I hope.
You sound like you're describing somebody horrible - a druggie, a murderer, or a homosexual or something.
We're talking about somebody that is flying a computer game, and points their plane at a chute and pulls a joystick trigger. Whippidee doo. It doesn't affect anyone's score, so the only REAL issue is the ego of the pilot who is straffed. If somebody's ego is so sensitive that they get all worked up over a computer game they should seek immediate psycological help. I know I do.

You don't have to prove anything; we know that your brains have fled from you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I think the following:
* HTC's time is better spent working on meaningful upgrages
* I dont care if my chute gets shoot, it doesnt hurt at all
* Someone needs to get a life.

I always shoot spy chutes. The little buggers seem to be everythere! Over my bases, over their bases, hell...they're sometimes just over miles of sheep filled prarie. Damn spies deserve it though! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I only shoot chutes if they are co-alt or have an energy advantage on me.

In a year of playing here I have been shot in my Chute, twice. And I think 1 of those was as I was in the process of bailing. Is this out of the norm for frequency?
-
I would like to have our names displayed instead of the plane type , but I know that will never happen most likly . Then you would know who shot your chute , plus would have a chance flying differant planes as they would have to get close enough to see what you were flying instead of just reading it .
Just my thoughts .

Real men perish in the burning hulks of their bullet-riddled planes.

LOL, Ok my chute was shot twice late last night and it annoyed me, but now my sense of humor has returned.
-
Youll know when i get your chute because ill tell you then lauph at yout guts spining around on my prop
-
People who jump out of a crashing plane are hopeless, pathetic, spineless dweebs who have no place in AH.
They are just proving they will do anything to live and preserve their score. Clearly gaming the game.

LOL, I do too, Saintaw.
And I really don't care if I get shot in my chute. It can help take the bordom out of being in the silk.
I sure wish HTC would give chute riders 45 autos though!

Should let us know who shot us though, would lead to a few more healthy blood feuds...

When I flew in the MA, there were many times I didn't even both to open my chute.
Score, to me, is not the point, so sometimes I would bail and "splat" or stay in the AC as it went in.
Much faster way to get flying again.
But there were times I would bail when damaged in a large furball and would enjoy the fight from a viewer's standpoint. If someone shot my chute then I would not like it.
Why bother shooting chutes anyhow ?
It doesn't take any skill and the time would be better spent looking for a REAL target
.

I will never shoot a chute in the air. If it's safe, I'd rather do a close fly-by with a victory roll.
Once they get on the ground though, they better go back to the tower real quick or I'll kill em.
Haven't had that much of a problem with chute shooters here in AH. Now AW3 was a different story.
I don't always bail. If the enemy that shoots me down does a particularly nice job, I like to reward em by riding it down. Kinda porked to have the plane you just nailed disappear and become a chute.

-
Hehehe, I think I never managed to shoot a chute...
but if I have the time and freedom to do it, any pilot that fired Hispanos at me (or Oerlikons Model 99) would deserve it... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
What I annoys me much more are kill-stealers... petition for killshooter off!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) oops - hijacked thread...

Question:
If Chute riders were actually given 45 autos'
and Creamo bailed,
would he use the 45 auto to shoot himself?
Makes you wonder, eh?
eskimo
-
Wow, that's heavy...
Lets see, if I bailed, I would indeed have to shoot myself for being a tard, yes.
Interesting, as we have no .45's, I still just don't bail. Why would anyone anyway?
-
It used to really tick me off.
Now I'd have to say it just makes me mildly pissed. Only semi-annoyed. Psuedo-provoked.
Nope; not like the old days. No-sir-eee-bob.
Nowadays I merely get mad.. not the frothing-mad-rabid-gotta buy a new stick, monitor, mouse, keyboard, ashtray, window, car, bail money kinda enraged anymore; mind you..
It's too damned expensive.

chute shooters , (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) saw one who shoot an chute , when i turned to him he said don't shoot i am out of ammo lol
killed that chute shooter (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
i think who shoot chutes it's there problem and stupid to wasted ammo on it , when someone shoot my chute i kill 5 chutes back .
eye for an eye , to bad then for people who never shoot chutes when i killed his chute , he can thank his team mate then ..
-
54Ed, I used to feel the same way as you at one time, until I had several missions that we created and launched, only to be spoiled by a enemy that hit the silk in the area that we intended to travel.
Now, I kill every bloody chute that is:
A) In the path of our flight...or..
B) Near his own airfield as we have a goon IB.
Consider me identified.
And, if you see me near your airfield, you bet your butt you'd better kill me, because I'm on the horn calling in every enemy position to my country.

LOL Hang...we always keep her greased for the new Latrine Scrubbers.
I have "earned" those lil red icons on the side of my plane (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) I usually spit beer outta my nose when my chute gets strafed its just party of the enjoyment.

Hi, my name is eagl and I'm a chute shooter.
*support group* "Hi eagl"
(when you read this, remember it's only a game)
I'm a firm believer that sometimes the best teaching tools are Fear Sarcasm and Ridicule. To that end, I have been known to take an occasional potshot at the descending chutes of my opponents if I feel that they need an extra dose of "who's da boss now eh?" after they let a weeb like myself shoot them down.
It's about setting the tone for the engagement. On the rare occasions that I actually shoot someone down, I want them to know that not only did I best them in aerial combat, but I utterly destroyed them in the game of virtual life. Being a good and gracious winner is for tournaments and duels where there are rules and stuff. In combat, I play for the unequivocal WIN. Also, if you want to come at me a second time, I'll kill you AGAIN, so bring it on mister smartypants.
That said, I usually auger or accidentally ram the steenking chute and kill myself instead of pinging it because I'm a weeb. But at least I might have gotten my message across (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Hmmm... after reading this, maybe I should quit posting the same day after a Real Life (tm) student tries to kill me...
