Title: PERK the PARACHUTE
Post by: 999000 on October 23, 2007, 12:32:45 AM
Ok any chance that we could perk the parachute....meaning get different weapons when in the chute.. bozooka? rocket propelled warhead? flame thrower? machine gun? might add a nice element to the game?

Give the CHUTE the ability to drop mines out. Drop a few on all plane spawns and vh. ***** Landed 58 victories in a CHUTE :lol

LOL if that happens we will really hear the ranting about REALISM.

This would fall under the lamness of hoing, ganging, vulching, ramming, cause as we all know this never really happend in ww2;)

i dont think the chute should when you bail out of a plane.
but perhaps paratropers when your trying to take a town. or they could add a new element. such as, have infantry combat too. that way you wouldnt have to rely on paratroopers to take chit. you could do it yourself with a squad of soldiers, and make the land-combat similar to a third person shooter.

Note to self: Before bailing, strap on flamethrower and grab bazooka from behind the seat.

Broken little man on ground note to self:  Flamethrower interupts parachute operation.  Leave behind.  Wingman last seen jetting about like a balloon with the air let out after using rocket propelled warhead.  Leave behind.

SEE RULE #2

I never laughd so hard... although the last time a rook (apologies...  but rook players seem to do this more than knights or bish) tooled me in a chute before I could end sortie I wished I had Jesse Ventura's M-61 VULCAN from the film predator!:eek:

Would be cool to atleast be able to pull your side arm (Colt 1911A1 45) and shoot at the noob who is trying to chute kill you

You can shoot "AT" them with your side arm... It's like throwing bb's at a boxcar!:lol

I note with some alarm that the stats page says that over the course of this tour, the Mossie has 0 kills of Chute, whereas Chute has 7 kills of Mossie.

Definitely perk the Chute.

Make the 'chute itself a perk if you're flying a Japanese plane.

:D

As for weapons, they should be perked as well.  Provide a sliding scale from a measly 7.65 mm (a .32 pistol, which seems to have been common in the military in this era), to a 9 mm short (.380 ACP for you 'Mericans), to a 9 mm Luger (plain-Jane 9 mm Parabellum), to a honking big .45 ACP (available to all but being cheaper in perks if you're flying American iron - presumably other Allies can get their hands on one...and so can Axis, presumably confiscated from shot down flyers).

Hmmm...what else...oh, yeah...if you're flying a Japanese plane, you can get perked an officer's sword.  Why shoot someone dead when you can sneak up on them and Banzai chop them to little pieces?

The Colt is already pretty good.  Last week I bailed near the field gun that got me, walked over behind cover and shot it down.

If you want infantry or ground war in general in terms of large scale historical and realism, WW2OL is the best there is IMO.

WW2OL is a big resource wasting POS with tons of unrealized potential.  Reminds me of communism in a way, great in theory but very poor in execution.
