Title: Doom Chutes
Post by: Halo on October 11, 2004, 06:19:17 PM

Decided to check 'chute strength by flying into one.  My plane was wrecked, had to bail out, 'chute gets a kill on me -- and the 'chute continues to float down with no apparent damage.

I can understand a collapsed 'chute impeding a plane if it hangs on its wing.  I can understand a 'chute fouling the engine if hit head-on.  

But I don't understand 'chute surviving impact with a plane and continuing to float down as if nothing happened.

just shoot it next time instead of flying through it




HEHEHE



really though, a chute hanging on a wing, with that hard drag being induced suddenly, and the weight of the "pilot" attached, i would think it would rip the wing clean off, not to mention fouling the prop severly no matter where you hit it.

just like flying into power lines or something.

Obviously you havent encountered the running man of destruction, where a bailed out pilot runs around a deacked field and wrecks taxiing planes by colliding with them.

I encountered one the other night. Or at least that's what I was told was happening. Seems at least 3 or 4 times when I spawned, some clown named xxTUGxx ran into my plane and killed me. Odd isn't it, how an unarmed man can destroy a 7 ton plane by running into it? What a freakin joke. Funny how it KILLS the pilot as well.

He is not UNARMED - he has what appears to be an 8 shot .45 caliber automatic pistol gripped firmly in his right hand.  Anybody who has studied WWII knows what an awsome aircraft killer the .45 was.  I say PERK THE .45!!!!!!!!!!
