I was researching bombers because I wanted to add more bomber action to my repertoire, and in so doing included a research of statistics
to aid in my selection of which bomber I may wish to campaign next. It was then that I noticed what I thought was a curious anomaly..
The anomaly of which I speak is 349 kills in a chute! Finding this most absurd and curious I researched further and found no such instances
in the past six months at all, much less what could only be considered epidemic.
This all hearkens back to an original thread that I started entitled downed pilot assassins. Now I don't know if it is because of my exposure
of this circumstance, or the simple fact that it is a cyclic event that is replayed Ad nauseam in aces high, but it is certainly conduct unbecoming!
If it is my exposure of this, despite my best intentions to warn the unwary; then I am sorry to the serious players, and to HTC for inadvertently
helping to manifest this.
Behold the list of shame.

If your name is on the list, shame on you!
Now I see that many on the list are a single count; probably curiosity seekers and such, but still shame! Your holding a colt O frame with a
captive audience.. What did you think would happen? It's no different than the thug waiting around the corner at the local ATM.
Closing thoughts: As my late father had told me on more than one occasion; you can be part of the problem, or part of the solution!
Now that you know you have a choice what's it going to be?
And yes, I do get that it's only a game. But it was not a game for the millions of combatants that were involved..

LOL
I'm on that list and I got the same guy twice :rock
I don't have any shame what so ever of bailing out of my shot up ac and getting a kill on the guy when he augured :O

so killing a HOing P51 that just rammed you in a chute is bad, but the HOing 51 is fine?

I'm sorry Surfinn that you got caught in the dragnet. I presume (perhaps incorrectly) that most understand, that not 100%
of those in the stat listing are being silly. Because it is known of course that legitimate chute kills (by proxy) or otherwise
do of course occur. It was not my intention to be a b-hatch, or be inflammatory to otherwise good family names, but rather
(hopefully) put to rest that which can be only be detrimental to that which we enjoy so much. :cheers:

Its there a statistic of best looking in game?
Because if i am not at the top its a conspiracy :old:

Yes olds442, having owned a couple (442's that is) in my lifetime, I acknowledge that there are instances where a "chute" kill is
legitimate. Otherwise the pro creators of this sim would not even have envisioned the necessity for this statistic in the listing.
As explained above, I acknowledge that not 100% of the list are being silly, and it is my regret that if your chute kill is legitimate
which I'm sure it is. Please acknowledge this is not my intention to be of some kind of vendetta, but rather (hopefully) bring light to,
and put an end too, that which can (most likely) only hurt this activity that we so enjoy.

I may be mistaken but is doing just that which is shameful as stated in this thread an achievement.

You're killing me! I gotta go to bed, boss man be hating me in the morning!

Well.. I don't think so, at least not yet.. :rolleyes:
-
TomD is second best looking :)
-
I dont get it. What exactly is the problem?
-
my chute kills are simple:
I get shot down defending a base. My pilot walks to map room to defend against capturing troops. Along the way several enemy planes auger and I get the kills. Not intentional on my part but hey there's an achievement! Awesome.
This is probably the case for most of these folks.
Some do admit to walking to an enemy re-arm pad and shooting unsuspecting pilots, which I've been a victim of. If it's happened to you.....you know the sound, ping-ping-ping-oooof-dead. :uhoh
-
:lol you're on the list wrench, with 1 kill.
:headscratch: i don't see an issue. wtf is the op rambling about?
-
yea I just saw that and changed my post :D
-
Somebody should send that list to HTC, so that all players on it can be banned from the game and the AH Christmas Card List :old:
But hey... I sense a new graph coming up.... :noid

I'm going to make an OP of shame list. :old:

I can't believe the OP wasted his time on this .. !!

...and here I thought this was about someone killing his buddy 349 while in a chute for some kind of award or something...

Nothing worse than an illegitimate chute kill. It always ends up giving the little chutes a complex.

Disappointed? :devil

Disappointed? :devil
A little. BBS drama gives me something to read at work during slow times. But, as the Got Silk thread shows, things can go too far when people have no self control or filter for their thoughts/words.

my two chute kills came after bailing out of a wrecked plane, and while sitting in the chute my opponents both crashed because there aircraft had been hurt as well. When I bailed they got a kill on me.. And seconds after when they augered i got the kill on them. Its an issue on htc's end. Two days ago a plane collided with mine from my 6 when i tried to force an over shoot.. I was damaged so badly that i was falling to my death while the other airplane just had light damage. The txt buffer said so and so has collided with you.. No mention of me colliding with him yet i was ruined. I rode the damaged plane into the ground and the minute i hit and died the text buffer said i landed two kills sucessfully. So i think many times its issues on htcs end that make up for a few weird situations.
-
I tend to empty my 45 and the closest enemy possible in a brief rage after being ganged by 3+ fighters. I got lucky and pilot wounded one of em I think. Zero fornications given.
I just wish the pilot in the chute would throw the .45 at them once its empty. :neener:
-
I understand the OP point in this... But NEVER WILL I EVER stop firing my pistol at red guys after JUST bailing... If I didn't squeeze those 10 or so rounds off, I'm pretty sure i would have broken 78 keyboards by now... it's my frustration letting loose in the form of a pistol...
I will NOT on the other hand wait until I get to ground and run to an opportunistic (gamey) spot to attempt to get a kill... :salute
That is, as stated, conduct unbecoming..... :cheers:
-
shooting chutes...is....nothing.... :aok

You can hide nowhere that the icepacalpyse cannot find you.
You are not safe in the tower.

You are not safe at 90,000 feet or within 12 sectors of a 163 base.

Even your card games are not safe from a "Rex Kramer....danger seeker" style stomping.

icepacalpyse?
I think you're just pounding your ice chest.
You say you're forming an elite fighting force of Alpacas?
And you're going to call yourself the Icepacas?

You guys don't look too tough..

You know if you go out of the house looking like this you will be laughed at everywhere. Even at 90,000 feet.
