  Well....?, and would it be different if instead of Just seeing an icon that told u what type of plane was coming at u it had the pilots name instead?

I'd think "oh goodie I get to shoot ______ in his parachute!"

Seriously, if it's killable it's a target in the game.

If thay feel the need to waste more ammo after thay have already got the kill, Then i say have at it. All tho the other night i bailed out and opened my chute way to early and i was begging some one to come kill me in it. But to my horror i couldnt bribe any one to do it.

Oh.. goodie.. another chute shooting thread.  The real trick is to come up with new witty material that hasn't been used in any of the other 5000 chute shooting threads.

Hmmmmmmm... nothing comes to mind.

Jekyll in RL it's a waste of time, ammo, and effort to kill someone in a chute.  The threat a chute poses to a mission is so miniscule that someone in a parachute wouldn't be considered a valid target, especially given the kind of air superiority the USAF currently enjoys.

If we were in a life and death struggle with another nation and I knew that the other guy was going to return and attack me, my comrades, or my country, I'd follow whatever ROE my commanders set up to and including blowing the bastage out from under his chute if that's what it took to get him out of the war for good AND the rules of engagement authorized it.

Frankly I think we'd have to be losing pretty badly for the ROE to authorize shooting people in their chutes, but I suppose it could happen.

In the game though, there's no moral question involved IMHO.  If it can be killed, then it's a target in the game.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Its a non-issue anymore since I tried the 109 G6.

One burst of .30mm LW cannon, and there is no chance of a bail. Hell, there aint even a bonding strap left.

 I think u all my be missing the point of the second part of my Question.You see the reason i think their is so much chute shooting in AH is that it is done with relative impunity, if their are multiple cons around it is hard to tell who got u, and even if u know who it was what good is that it's not like u can go and find him.Ya see in my last sim FA we did not have icons that gave the plane type we had icons that gave the pilot name. the result of this was that chute shooting was a rare occurrence, the reason for this was people would seakout the offending chute shooter and hunt him down, often whole squads would seek revenge, can u see 6 or more guys hunting u constantly till u cried mama....

Brady,

When I shoot a chute, I'll tell the pilot I did it if he gets on Ch 1 to complain.

I think the idea of nurturing the "Chute killing is unethical/insulting/no-PC" has somewhat been beat to death.  The only reason people can even remotely get upset about it is because they are still allive to complain afterwards.  That means you weren't killed.  That means a little animated graphic of a parachute was shot on-line.

Time to differentiate from what is allowed in a game and real life.

Brady. I think you're missing the point. This is a game, it's not real life. chivalry and <cough> honour are all part of the online persona "act". The chute could Mother Theresa's handle on it and if I think it should go away I'll do it. I'll butterfly and scramble that bastidge hanging in mid air with as many rounds as it takes.

 That being said. I shoot chutes if they bail near my base that THEY are attacking. Too many punks like to loiter in the silk or hang around on the ground giving posresps for thier buddies incoming. You may not do that but enough do to make your wishes to be a swinging pickle in a harness became inconsequential due to a peck or two of bad apples.

 Course, if you really had a problem with the  "virtual" <cough> immoral practices of chute shooters, you and the others offended could always hold a "virtual" court, try the "virtual" war criminal and then "virtually" hang his bellybutton out behind a "virtual" prison.

I don't think the impunity is a factor, I try to take credit for every chute shot in the arena, but some smart guy usually figures out some of them are opposite sides of the map.

Besides, anyone who does not have a true bond with their plane and would jump out of her just because she's hurt is a traitor and deserves to be shot.

There are only 2 instances when I would shoot a chute.

1)When someone bails out near a base to spy.

2)When I chase someone and they bail when you get to within D3.0 so you don't get the kill for them. Seen a lot of buff pilots do this.

Chute shooting SOB; a study of the thought process supporting this terrible disorder:

0:00:00- Ooh look, a chute dangling in the air, how pretty!
0:00:01- I sure wish I had some dr. pepper right now.
0:00:03- I wonder if Mason has posted any nice porn on the bb...I'll have to check that.
0:00:04- hmmm, I should get some distance quickly for a good steady guns pass at this guy's chute.
0:00:06- corn dogs would go nice with dr. pepper.  i'll head to 7-11 after this sortie.
0:00:07- sweet!  the poor bastard opened his chute at 1,000ft AGL!  time enough for a couple of passes if my horrible gunnery creates the need.
0:00:10- steady, steady, fire...oooh pretty hit sparks!  he must have a metal plate in his head.
0:00:11- wow, that metal plate is strong!  he ain't dead yet!
0:00:13- mmmmm, corn dogs
0:00:14- why is creamo circling my chute?  I better get turned around quick before that bastard steals it from me!
0:00:16- wtf?  now nash is eye-ing my chute too?!?  oh well, it almost makes me respect that canuck!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
0:00:18- steady, must kill on this pass or he's someone else's little piggy!
0:00:19- oooooh, purty boom boom!  i'm thirsty, where's my dr. pepper.
0:00:20- damn I'm good!  I can't kill planes yet, but if i find a guy in a chute, i own his ass!
0:00:21- boy, gordo sure is a sissy.
0:00:25- i think that grey text is for me, it says "hey chute shooter you are suck, only a spineless dirtbag would do that".
0:00:26- hmmm, poor guy, I don't think he feels loved enough in his home life, I should say something nice and witty to him.
0:00:27- <blank canvas>
0:00:28- i should auger and go to 7-11.

Truely a profound study.  We'll be analyzing the results and getting back to you with our conclusions!

Post by: Sandman_SBM on March 05, 2001, 05:39:00 PM
I rarely, if ever, shoot a chute. It's a waste of ammo. Fact is... the AAA shoot at the chutes also. Why not? It's a valid target.

It's irritating to get shot while in a chute, sure. Mainly because I'm already pissed off for getting knocked down and then the kick comes, but it's part of the game. I accept it.

Part of the appeal of shooting guns at each other is to simply vent and let off steam. If blasting a chute helps relieve some RL stress, by all means, go for it. It's far more socially acceptable then mowing down the patrons at the local MacDonalds.

Of course, if you overshoot and suffer decceleration trauma or fixate on my chute long enough for someone else to pop you, I will be smiling and questioning your intelligence.

Ahhh... if only there was such a word as "kill" and "death" in a virtual war.

You don't kill anything, it's a piece of damned software.

Instead just to piss the other guy off you shoot at a pixelated rendition of a human body with a chute extending from his body that appears as if it's a limb because of it's solid shape.

You throw sportsmanship out of the window when you dive in to "kill" your pixelated opponent dangling from his pixelated "chute".

This is not a war, this is a game with objectives in it. There is no point other than to have fun, and you override that point when your intent is to deny the other person his fun.

Do you go to a basketball game and after winning the game run up to the other team and throw the basketball right into his face with the intent of breaking his nose?

C47s aside Graywolf?  The point being you are shooting at graphics for enjoyment.  Lest we forget, the simulation is built around killing your enemy, strafing his troops, bombing his city, headquarters, and other quite domestic type facilities.

I know a lot here like to think of pilots as a chivalrous lot above the standing of a common soldier.  Welp, I don't.  When I play I am a common soldier who is constantly being attacked and bombed, and is is trying to kill you on the runway, in your city, and in your plane (before, after and during any supposed bailing).

Also some play for perk points or virtual life.  I play to make things explode, whatever those things might be (chutes make an excellent explosion with Mitsu's last set of sounds).

I have fun killing chutes and watching them blow up.  So, I shouldn't shoot chutes now?  Wouldn't that be denying me my fun?  Sorry, I'm apprently too daft or dastardly to understand just what you're getting at, because it seems to me that you're trying to do just that.

Actually Wulfie.. you are way off base here.  The purpose of this game is to deny the other person the same fun you are having.  I think its fun to blow a plane all to hell.. the person being shot most likely doesn't share that oppinion.

If there is a chute hanging in front of me.. I think its fun to straff him.. to improve my gun accuracy if anything (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The point is that this is a game and it shouldn't be taken seriously.  Nobody is slapping anyone in the face.  If pixels and text are the cause of great distress in your life, things need to be re-evaluated.

Chutes blow up real purty-like if you make them dance enough of the hot-lead boogie.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Shooting chutes is a little like eating the cherry on an ice cream sundae - it's a treat not to be missed!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

And it's even more fun if the dead pilot gets all pissy about it on the open channel or better yet - here on eht BBS! Then it's a real score!

Pull high and die!

Hey Lizard - from now on I'll be looking fer ya in the arena - and please pull high to give me a good run on such a pathetic looser. You will blow up real purty hanging in yer silk.

Dude, if you have to come to blows over something built into the sim, then you need a little help with anger management. We are all sim pilot nerds here. Why take it to the level of a real fight. They are *only* little phosphors on the back side of your monitor screen and 1s and 0s inside the box.

Nobody really dies in a chute shooting incident but it sounds like you are close to it - popping an artery when you get shot down is just a little too much don't you think.

Either learn to manage your anger or find another online sport - maybe Yahoo hearts or something.

Exactly. As you can quite clearly see in this thread there are quite clearly people who find jerks who kill chutes annoying.

Doing something purely to annoy someone else is a behaviour that most people grow out of at an early age.

I shall now await the arguments about why people won't alter their behaviour 'just because someone else doesn't like it, I know they'll appear. As far as I'm concerned that's crap.

No, I was making an analogy. Is it hurting you too much that I actually make a comment on something I could care less about? Maybe you need to re-evaluate yourself if you are going to tell me how I am taking getting shot in my chute... I just remarked on how I view the whole issue, not how much or how little I care. Of course my stance remains on the latter, I could care less. If it makes you feel like you just kicked my ass, okay. But I will find you in the MA, and keep you on the ground. Then when I've got you squeeling like a piggy, I'm going to remind you who's your daddy and rape you like the rook sheep.

C'mon and strafe my chute, you are just inviting a world of pain.

By far the best policy of any AH Squadron, gentlemen, the FDB's rules of Chute shooting:
 
Quote
                   Chute shooting, Head-oning and Ditching: As these three
                    issues are hot-potatoes in Aces High, the founders of FDB feel
                    it necessary to issue rules to squad members regarding them.
                    No member of FDB may shoot an opponent's chute unless they
                    suspect him of whining at least once in his present or any
                    former life. No member of FDB may head on an opponent
                    unless the urge strikes them. No member of FDB may kill an
                    opponent who is trying to ditch unless they are struck with the
                    inspiration to do so. No member of FDB may ditch his plane
                    unless he has to urinate really, really bad. Anyone who
                    suspects an FDB member to be falsifying claims of bladder
                    fullness to escape death by ditching should stop to consider
                    how much alcohol must be consumed by said member to
                    comply with the squad's blood alcohol requirement.

Basketball game puncuated by violence =

a. real
b. carries consequences

Chute Strafe=

a. not real
b. carries no consequences (unless of course the strafee is a crying girl with a fragile sense of self that really just needs to be held and told nice things)

It *is* disrespectfull, and all the BS about 'its just a game' etc doesnt cut it cause they are icons representing real people to destroy it is disrepectfull to the person that the icon represents. Its like burning a countries flag and saying 'aww come on, its just a piece of material'. It may physically be a peice of material, but it is an icon of something alot more than that.

But i will shoot suspected spying chutes. If i leave high-alt chutes, i know they cant replane for a while  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) suits me fine.

A bail has no effect on this statistic.  If you bail, and any pilot that damaged you is still alive (or has not rtb'd to tower), he will be awarded the kill and it will show accordingly in pilot vs plane stats.

The only thing a bail affects is your points for the sortie... that is if you're going to just die anyways.

Basketball analogy: it's not "in your face" violence by the winning team.  The game continues.  Chute shooting is trash talking. Some take it in stride, some get pissed off, and some prefer not to do it.

Consider this case today in the MA.  I'm flying in a 205, and engage a zeke.  He turns hard.  I turn with him once around and then realize that I'm a moron, so I just firewall it and head to the nearby shoreline where there's a "chute" on the ground.  The zeke follows (at a distance of course).  I strafe the chute, and that's guaranteed the fixation of the zeke.  I drag him around a bit, then set him up high for a countryman in a Chawg.

I had another 205 sortie some time ago where I beat the same Chog pilot 5 times in one sortie (all ait-to-air).  But now I'm winchester and low on fuel, so I head for home.  The chog pilot runs 20 miles to attack me, forces me to turn, I run out of gas, and he gets me.  In spite of the low level, I bail, and make it to a chute.  Right before I  hit the ground, he strafes me.

You guys would deny me the satisfaction of knowing I really pissed off that Chawg driver.

We should have a film contest for who can present the best guncamera action of chute strafing.
