Poll Question: Do you shoot chutes?
Vote Poll Choice Votes Poll Statistics
Yes 83 [78.30%]
NO 1 [0.94%]
once in awhile 19 [17.92%]
Never..i got honor 3 [2.83%]
This was posted on another AH forum. I was called names for saying i shoot chutes. Seems there are more people out there then just me. :D
-
what is the difference between NO and never...?
-
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.
-
what else are yak-U MG's good for??????
-
I only voted Yes 42 times.
SOB
-
Actually, I think I voted yes somewhere around 5-8 times :)
-
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.

Actually your doing them a favor blowing them out of a chute and into a plane faster.Really tho.What else ya gonna do with all those 303 rounds?:eek:
-
I wish we could wound the pilot while in the chute, not just blow him up.
Make him feel the pain while floating down.
-
30 minutes to compose that sonnet
and what response do I get?
Laz, the topic-- please stay on it,
And Boozer's drunk I bet.
Come on, lads, mount an effort,
This drool ain't over yet.
PS... I challenge any of you to rhyme something with "ccvi"!
-
never shoot chutes myself (unless spying) but i don't care what others do
-
ALWAYS kill chutes,as they are trying to sneak explosives into your base.
Why else would they explode when you pop em'? ;)
-
would someone please explaine to me what the difference between "no" and "never" is. .94% said no and 2.83% said never. i am so confused.

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.
-
i shoot chutes if..
#1, i don't like them.
#2, i had to spend 10 mins chasin em down.
#3, they HO me and screwed up.
#4.. they done it to me before!
#5,henever someone else killed the chute so they dunno it was me :D
i can't count.. changed the 2nd four to a five :p
-
I liked your poem so much, Oboe, that I think I'm gonna have it tatooed on my ass!
SOB
-
Still waiting on the blood & guts from when you hit em with the prop!
Come on HT get bz with it!
-
LOL SOB!
I'm finally gettin' published!!
-
the subject was poetry? In that case... the poetry in this thread is inane.

-
The Whine after you kill a guy in a Chute makes Chute Shooting a worth while venture!
;)
-
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?;)
-
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:
-
Chute shooting is The Sport of Kings !!
'nuf said :)

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!
SOB
-
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 know ya want it!
Gordo, U slug, how ya been?
-
Uh, yeah, like I really want syphillis;p
I am broke and deathly ill, but other than that I am fine. Hope all is dark and gloomy with you too!
You should show up in the MA tonight so I can have some easy kills.
-
Yea, Milenko! Gordo's gonna whup you like a rented mule!
That is, as soon as he figures out how to take of from a carrier.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Never.
Waste of Energy and Ammo.

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.

note to self and all ppl who use chute's. open chute when you see ground clutter

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
-
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? :)
-
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.

I shoot Bish.
Knights, I usually spare.
I think most Rooks are like that. We still remember what happened a couple of years back.

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.

Nik chutes.They MUST be shot down
-
I never shoot chutes as a concession to the vast numbers of crybabies in the game. However if you catch me in one, feel free to blaze away.
-
chutes are a waste of ammo,, i would rather spend the time killing more planes,,lol but do what ever makes you happy i guess:)
-
I only shoot chutes if I have ammo left.
-
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. Chutez Valdez will bring you higher learning and understanding of the universe through silkzapoppin enhancement . :D

If the Hate is in you, making someone whine is just as good as shooting them down.

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!
