one more thing to vote for?    wasnt thinking.


That's what he said when someone brought it up in the checksix forums.  And the reason Yes got voted so much was, you could vote more than once :) , think I voted yes twice.

Chute-shooters are sociopaths
Of that I have no doubt,
Sportsmanship and courtesy
Brazenly they flout.

Should we be so surprised then
When asked to vote their mind,
They show as much respect for the voting process
as we do a donkey's behind?

Can you really blame them though
When it's understood by all,
The vanquished pilot goes out in glory
As an exploding fire-ball?

chute shooting seems downright chivolrous compared to steamrollering by the country with the most numbers.   It definitely takes about 100 times more skill and is about twice the risk.

I wish we could wound the pilot while in the chute, not just blow him up.

Make him feel the pain while floating down.

ALWAYS kill chutes,as they are trying to sneak explosives into your base.

Why else would they explode when you pop em'? ;)

My guess is the addition of "honor" to the never tag.  Some people don't shoot chutes because they want to save ammo or some other lamer reason.  Other find that there is honor in a video game.

I agree though, both are pretty much the same IMO.  They are both stupid.

Post by: TheflyingElk on August 03, 2003, 01:44:39 PM
I do remember hearing pilots being told to fall as far away from the combat area before deploying the chute, so if they choose to open early, they need to be eleminated from the gene pool for lower than average IQ, don't you think?;)

Post by: oboe on August 03, 2003, 02:46:39 PM
Lazs,

No, the subject of the thread was chute-shooting.  The vehicle was to have been poetry, but no one followed suit.  

Your second point is irrefutable, however.   :cool:

Got one from a bomber just last night.  Smoked the bomber and he bailed high.  Rolled my chog and followed him, strait down, and popped him before he let the silk fly.  It was a beautiful sight to behold!

Personally, if I see a chute at high altitude I leave it alone, it's more of a torture for the poor shmuck to hang there 5 minutes riding the silk, I know he's hopin' I'll shoot him to put him outta his misery, but I can't see givin' him an ez out. Call me a Sadist.

Now strafing spies on the ground or even FDBs trying to take off from a capped field, well now thats an entirely different kettle of fish. :D

You should show up in the MA tonight so I can have some easy kills.

Post by: gofaster on August 04, 2003, 11:42:17 AM
I usually don't because its a waste of ammo, but I will shoot (a) if the icon hasn't changed to "Chute" yet, and (b) if the guy really pissed me off with gamey maneuver, like stick stirring.
Title: Chute shooting
Post by: oboe on August 04, 2003, 03:09:42 PM
Been a while, but I'm pretty sure AH has a built-in stick stirring solution.   If you try it you get a message from system: "Pease don't move your stick so fast" - if you persist, it locks your controls for a few seconds.    Something like that.

In the MA I normally leave them alone unless they pissed me off. Or its a nik or spit chute then they get popped. In events however I dont.

I don't mind shooting chutes from a M16 or Flak if they come too close to me and there is nothing more interesting to shoot at the time :D
Title: Chute shooting
Post by: MotorOil on August 05, 2003, 05:11:27 PM
I'll shoot a chute if I have the time and ammo.  Reality of it is I have more kills in a chute and have seen more people auger tring to shoot a chute than I have been killed in a chute.  To shoot a chute or not shoot a chute, the concept in this game, not worth getting your panties tied in a knot over.   Get back up in a plane and shoot him back.... what do you have to loose?  :)

Post by: Ack-Ack on August 05, 2003, 07:19:13 PM
Unfortunately shooting chutes has a downside.  It has gotten to the point now where if my kill has bailed out and he knows it's me, the person will rarely open his chute and instead just do a body lawn dart into the ground.

Had yeager do this to me the other day.  It really pissed me off.  I had a perfect chute aproach all lined up and he refused to open it.  Some people have no honor.

What happened?  I've only been in the AH community for a little over a year and honestly don't know what you are referring to.  Just curious.

The true meaning of life and the masterfull art of chute shooting may only properly be learned in the mountains just outside of Bogata Columbia in a small dojo ran by Juan Valdez`s first cousin on his mother`s side.

shot another chute yesterday.
I was doing laps at 10k over an enemy field making sure nothing poped up when a spity came to attack. He was shot down and bailed. Once he hit the ground and droped his chute he ran for a hanger to watch.
So i dove in and killed his sorry arse. :D

To me a pilot that bails could be a watching your actions. Like a human radar.


KILL ALL CHUTES!
