So, if you walk into the map room can you wait there for troops and kill them as they come in?  Thats should make a lot of people happy :rofl

Can you imagine the cussing if a chute shooter gets 1-pinged by that .45 and gets a PW that leads to his death?  LMAO

The .45 is worthless even compared to the .303.

:lol   And the fun begins.  Better not chug past a 'chute with your canopy open.  If you can see his .45, you are TOO CLOSE.  

Now chutists have to be killed 'cause they are armed and dangerous.

Anybody who can hit anything with a .45 farther than 10 yards away is a better man than I, Gunga Din.

Does it count if the .45 is a Tompson?
And does me having a working handgun make things any different than they were? People always try to kill me while hanging in my chute...makes me wish I could of landed kills back then.

Make sure the fire button is mapped under chute controls.

Can we get a high capacity Glock with perk points?  Or maybe the Wilson 8 round .45 magazines?
Title: The bailed out pilot now can fire his weapon.
Post by: doobs on February 19, 2005, 12:53:27 AM
Got it workin(thx) and got one kill and one assist already till they spotted me on the field and a m16 almost ran me over, untill the panzer and Tiger(why someone would up a tiger against inbound planes?) spotted me and made quick work of me.

btw early chute kill intel.

one ping on any aircraft assist.

pepper canopy on stunned aircraft looking at you and he auger, kill

Now the real question

My field about toast FH down VH down ack down. We

now can run any plane to town asap jump get to map room and with 22 rounds hold off at least 2 goons? or be implaced there before.    can hear it now............merlot 73 vintage

And if that is the case , do a couple of us jump, chute and land just to smoke out the bad guy in the map room.

Just when ya had, taken a base in one mission figured out poofff.
now ya got to ask guys to jet there ahead of mission, chute out and guard map room, and hopefully laser spot the target.

just wondering

How about some perk +P+ rounds...;)
Title: The bailed out pilot now can fire his weapon.
Post by: mechanic on February 19, 2005, 03:20:51 AM
how about do away with drunks all together and implement real people in the goon??

you'd have to recruit your 10 brave souls before lifting the goon.

this is too cool.

It's a little hard to hit a man sized target with a normal, worn, military .45 at more than 100 yards but you should be able to keep their heads down at 200 yards.   at 25 yards even the worse .45's should give you a 5 inch group... best ones a little over an inch.  

I'll buy yours tho if you can't make it shoot.

Yea, but your forgetting the fact that these are not worn .45s. :D
  When you punch the MA button you have been transported back in time to the `40s.
  I had to clean the cosmoline off of my .45. ;)

Post by: lazs2 on February 19, 2005, 10:48:50 AM
jakal... I said "at 100 yards".   even fresh miltitary .45's didn't have enough front sight (and a horrible rear one) to be too accurate past about 50 yards.   with practice... you should be fairly deadly out to 100 yards or so tho.

Post by: TheflyingElk on February 19, 2005, 12:50:53 PM
anybody thought about the possiblity of a flyer bailing out over his airfield and heading for the map room and shooting troops as they enter?  Is this possible? could this  be the next camp spot? just a thought:eek:

i guess it's possible.  but, it would just have to be one more part of the mission - clearing the map room.  :D

not too hard.  might actually be FUN.  :cool:

-

still couldn't get the gun to fire offline.  does it work offline?

anyone willing to post a screenie of their Chute setup screen?  would be much appreciated.

You use the sights??!!  Obviously you haven't been watching enough movies and TV.  You're supposed to turn the weapon over on it's side, and while repeating something along the lines of "yo dawg, I'm gonna kap your sorry prettythang", spray as many rounds as the magazine holds in the general direction of the other ganbange.....er, sorry..... enemy soldier.

tried that last night to see if it could be done, you can go into the map room, unfortunately no enemy troops came in, but i did get a kill from a proxy auger, lol.

now all we need is an option from hangar to spawn as a troop with a .45 or luger, and a m1 grenade or a thompson, and 8 hand gernades
for a small perk fee you have the option of a Bazooka or B.A.R.

Well, seeing as pilots bail out of planes with .45's, how about we let tankers bail and give them carbines?  I would drive a T34, just for the reason of being able to bail out with a Mosin Nagant M44 in hand :D

For an air war simulator, lots of participants certainly have a thirst for individual ground combat up close and personal.

Great Idea but man It would get tedious after 3 or 4 rides and the goon keeps getting shot down. Its hard enough to talk people into bringing ordance to a field.

If I get shot at I sure hope the guy is holding his gun sideways with one hand and his pants up with the other.

Do the jap pilots have to carry a baby nambu?  

There were three .45's in the U.S. handgun arsenal...  The first was the Colt patent 1911 pistol.  Another was the Colt New Service revolver in .45 acp and the other was the Smith and Wesson 1917 revolver in .45acp.
