If you look on your keyboard you'll see this button that says, "Caps Lock"....
You don't get 'scored' for the kill, as you don't get any perk points for it nor regular points. It will be counted in your total kill tally however, just like proximity kills.

Chutes GET prox kills. So if you auger trying to kill one, you'll give him a kill.
You'll notice killed chutes dont take deaths though.

Wooooooooooot, Oh boy I missed posts like these, thank you thank you thank you :D

Duedel, is that you on the left? :D

I rarely shoot a chute, it gets them in the air faster. I laugh when it takes three-four passes to shoot my chute.

Ah-HA! You've answered my question.. It all makes sense now.
After reading the past few weeks diatribe about "Chute Shooting",, I took to bailing (once all shot to pieces) right over the nme base,, buzzing with MILLIONS of red fighters..
What a visual! They literally crashed INTO each other, augered into the ground, spun, stalled, wasted Ba-Zillion rounds of ammo,, trying to nail the little man in a chute.
Here's the deal.. One time, as I'm floating down to dead-center nme runway,, (just before the field ack got me), I hear Zoooom, Bang, Smash,,
"SYSTEM: You have shot down ThisOne #1"
"SYSTEM: You have shot down ThatOne #2"
"SYSTEM: You have shot down SomeOne #3"
"SYSTEM: You have shot down No-One #4"
"SYSTEM: You have shot down Every-One #5"
"SYSTEM: You have shot down TheOtherOne #6"
WOW!
More kills than I've ever gotten in my flyable life! From a parachute! HAhahahahaaa!!

There's no comic relief anywhere like a would-be chute killer augering under your pilot's feet. :D

I'm curious why people even bother to bail out. Unlike real combat, this isn't life and death... so does bailing in AH give someone the sense that he would've actually survived to up again? All I see bailing doing is delaying my re-upping. Maybe I'm missing something.
-
If I can get an enemy to waste even more ammo killing my chute, I will :) As long as an enemy is shooting at my worthless chute, it's not shooting at any friendlies who might be around.

You get half the points for getting killed as you get for bailing successfully. That's why people bail.
I don't care about that, but it appears that many folks do.

Starting about 2 to 3 tours ago I quit bailing out of planes . I only bail if the enm is already dead and I am over my base and am too shot up land . If not I just ride the squeak down and die .
I DO love to shoot chutes though :D Plus I love to hear some squeak after .

dont think i have to say what i'm doing here.

Alright knife, you know the routine......

On further thought with all these chute threads, I've been killed in a chute maybe once in 3 months of flying and that was on a zoom bail..
You guys talk a bloodthirsty game but I'm not seeing it.
So on the stats page kills in a "chute" are proximity kills while hanging about ??
Been pondering that one....

I bail so I can play FAC over the battlefield without having to worry about aircraft management. My secondary reason is to see if any enemy pilots are dumb enough to waste their ammo on me. When I bailed, the kill was already awarded. Drilling up my chute with ammo won't bag them any more points.
-
I'll 'waste' my mg's on a spy any day !
I don't remember who it was that said that shooting chutes with mg's is a great way to increase AC performance by lightening the load and practicing aiming.. but they were soooo right !

taking a screen shot of shooting a chute? kinda self gratifying in a disturbed kinda way:rolleyes:

Heh. Ahhh, yet another post decrying how "dumb" it is to shoot chutes. Let's make a few things clear.
(1) It's not dumb.
(a) It eliminates potential spies
(b) It makes many bailing lamers go ballistic on Ch1
(c) It improves aim
(2) It is not a waste of ammo
(a) It takes one round to kill a chute
(b) Makes less lethal ammo (.303, 7.7mm) useful
(3) Who cares about points?
(4) It's fun!

DMF, maybe you'd like an arena with hundreds of chutes floating around for you to kill..and since its so much fun to kill unarmed, non-threatening players..how about a bunch of troops in wheelchairs on the ground or maybe an old folks home for you to strafe?
its not the act of shooting a player's chute, its the mentality it represents.

Whoa! Do you think there's a chance? I might have cancelled my account too soon. Imagine shooting the crap out of targets like that while singing a few verses of "Napalm Sticks to Kids"!!!

Man, that would be a blast!
If you could make it little girls in wheelchairs, I'd start level bombing again.

Considering we already have a church we can strafe, I think adding a school, preferably a pre-school and a children's hospital to the town would be a great idea! Imagine coming down and shooting a plane up, making the guy bail out and shooting his chute and round off the flight with a nice strafe of the pre-school and children's hospital. The ulimate hat trick.

Holy Hell YES I'd love an arena like that.

Much more worrisome is the mentality that actually finds such behavior in a game objectionable.

LOL!
Reminds me of a quote from Seeker: "Deja, I'd say just about the *only* things that can be "proven" in an online game are one's definitions of sportsmanship and honour. It's the rest that's the illusion."
Man you guys crack me up. This isn't a war, its a game. You aren't killing someone, you are getting them in another plane faster. You're not making widdows. You're simply shooting the red icon.
How you play a game does not define honor, nor does it define character. Of course, what you type on channel 1 can do both in a heartbeat.

The BK's shoot all chutes. We don't like the blinking.

I was watching "Little Nikki" the other day and was rolling on the floor laughing as the two men's wheelchair basketball teams were unable to stop their wheelchairs (rolling downhill) and rammed into the side of a stopped bus. One of the best scenes in a movie ever.

You still haven't adequately explained to me why I should care about your own silly notions of honor and justice in an online game.
I do like the wheelchair idea though. Good thinking!

Ooooooooooooooh Yess Yess!!! The church is already a goodie, but exploding wheelchairs!!! I CAN'T WAIT! :D
This would be a fine time to ask for napalm too, no ?

LOL...but once i hit the ground im a ace all 7 people in the hth arena shmashed into the ground around me after trying to shoot me down(they thougt i was in a tank LOL) i then walked to a good spot for returning to the tower and went back. to bad you dont get the kill counts after you ditch

Shooting chutes is stupid and pointless . You've got to aim for the man in the harness .
-

WELL SAID !!
I see reading the channel 1 buffer, quite a few don't have a grasp on that concept.

Anyone who shoots my chute, I will get pissed. I ask him to step outside so I can knock his stupid head off. Is that ok? oops I might get banned or something.
:D

It's a game, fer cryin out loud! When I get the ol' blood lust up, shootin chutes is absolutely a must! Hell, I expect to get shot whenever I bail. It's all just part of the HT world we live in.
(pssst...is this real, or am I dreamin?)
