LOL! I just found the chute killing stats.
So far I've killed 22 chutes and been killed 20 times in a chute.
I have 2 kills while in a chute and have been killed by 2 chutes.
I have had 8 people whine after I killed their chute. I have never whined after my chute was shot.
BTW.. this number may include people that didn't open their chute in time and I was awarded a proximity kill. Also, I could swear I got a kill on a Lanc pilot in a chute this tour but don't see it in the records. Maybe I didn't land as many hits on him as the other guys that were shooting at him.
Anyone think they can beat that? The stats are there.

Can't beat that... No chute kills.

Its showing you with 3 chute kills sandman9... 1 in tour ll and 2 in tour 10.
AKDejaVu

Actually... that's one in Tour 11 and two in Tour 9.
My bad... didn't look any further than Tour 12.
Can't say I ever recall shooting at a chute though.
-
Like I said.. it may be that someone didn't open the chute in time when you were with proximity kill distance. They were in their chute when they died close to you.. you were awarded the kill.

I guess there one thing about having stats about (bragging no doubt) chute killers in the game: having stats shows the masses who the dweebs really are.

Ah.. so many great first posts these days. Sometimes its just like people have been part of the community all along.

Thats very interesting (and surprising they added that btw), and nice to know. Im still amazed what programmers can do. How do they know all this?
Anyways, although it was never mentioned in the README of 1.05, the chute's "hardness" is you will, HAVE been beefed yup.
They certainly take a good spray now to kill them, and Im sure there is a diffrence from previous versions. Enough that if there is alot of cons, I think twice about popping them depending on ammo counter.
I just hope they model chute kills like SWOTL (remember that game?!) where the canopy colapses and they plunge to earth, unlike the "TNT in the Pockets" effect we have now.
Good work Ronni.

Alright, I give, where do you find the chute stats?
Doh! There it is, heh!

I'm really fighting the urge to review some "Chute Shooting DWEEB!" threads. The first one I found had a single tour where the originator had almost as many chute kills as I've had since the game came out.
Hehehehe... the perverbial egg on the face there.

I know I have that chute kill score beat , hell , I probably kill 3 chutes a day (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
( Oregon eh ?)

That stat thing is neat as hell! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Just for fun, I went all the way back to Tour 6, when HTC gave us the Jug:
73 kills, 11 deaths in D-30
Tour 7:
147 kills, 15 deaths in the D-30
(hangs head in shame)...I also saw that I shot 19 chutes that tour (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Skipped to Tour 12:
27 kills, 2 deaths in the D-30
89 kills, 12 deaths in a Hellcat
35 kills, 2 deaths in a YAK-9
18 kills, 19 deaths in the F4U-1C (only pilot with a losing ratio in that bird I bet (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )
Won't even go into Tour 10.......my Logisuck Crashman 3D Xtreme was spiking on the rudder axis so bad, I could not even take off sometimes........that is another tour I would like to forget.
After seeing my stats, who the heck would be nervous knowing I was the pilot they was up against? Sheesh! Looks like I may have to take up Pac Man or something........
Great job HTC, on the stats charts, BTW!
-
I don't think those stats are reliable - in one tour I have 8 chute kills, heck I don't think I've shot that many over 12 months (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I agree duma. I think pilots that fight on the deck (ala torque) will have an inflated Chute killing count. If you disable a plane below 200 feet and he tries to bail, you've got yourself a chute proximity kill. I've seen your JABO films Duma.. you fit in this category at times too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Another possibility is that when shooting a plane the pilot tries to bail and is inadvertently killed in his chute even though you didn't see him.

Possible that it is also counting drunks people shoot when defending a base?
-
I don't think so lance, the numbers would be much greater. I straffed a re-spawning C47's troops this tour... musta killed 50 of them.

OK... so where are they? I see three scores pages... and don't see any info on chutes in any one of them.
Pilot score
Stats data for all tours
View Kill Stats
-
- From the score page go to "Kill Stats in an expanded format (IE only)
- On the pull down menu in the upper right corner, make sure "Player stats" is selected.
- put in your id
- Select tour 11 (you did not have any chute kills in tour 12)
- The "Kills" table (with the blue header) will list your kill of chutes 4th from the top.
If you didn't kill any chutes, or get credited for a kill while in your chute.. nothing will show here.

Cool... thanks. This has to include drunks... I havn't even seen anyone bail out the last two tours! =)
