It wouldbe great if we could find the way to prevent chute shooting. That is one of the things I hate. I think we should allways give a chance to bailed pilot survive. I can say more I do not like to see the plane I shoot exploded I allways prefere to let the pilot bail.
I know that is virtual lives but we still have to be humans. I vote against chute shooting. We have to stay humans.
-
Your can't be serious ... are you ?
-
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:p
-
dont give somone shot you down;)
was time to acclimate with this;) welcom in AH world;)
-
I think you missunderstood the main point.
To be humans even with virtual lives!
-
I vote against chutes shooting too! On the subject of banning it, I say we go a step further...anyone who is does this is completely without honor and should be permanantly banned from AH!
-
sorry...but no...shooting chutes just gets you back to tower faster ...you should THANK them

Can you also make my plane invisble so I can be like wonder woman and have nekkid chicks flying with me too?
-
you have my vote since chutes can't shoot anyway.
i'd hate to arm the lil screamers with a pistol or something, they might get lucky and hit my radiator while i'm straffing them.
-
Human life is sacred, each and every person is valuble and special. We should work out our differances with flowers and hugs. Chute shooting needs to be eliminated. We should all make a solemn pledge, upon our honor, not to shoot our fellow man whens he' dangling like early duck season! Actually I wish you could shoot the dang chute like in Il-2! I want to see the spitdweeb I just owned screaming as he plummets to the virtual ground dangling under a burning streaming useless hunk of silk. Then I want to land next to his wiley coyotesque crater, kick him, then steal his virtual wallet.

you get 50 perks for killing knit chutes.

Part of being human is to have sence of humor and not take anything too serious, is not it? :)
-
MMMM chutes are chewy
-
... and 100 perks if its a MAW chute :D
-
Let them waste their ammo on shooting a chute... then later after they waste all of their ammo spraying and praying, or shooting chutes, someone will get an easy kill

Well .. you will never get 100 perks off of me. I NEVER bring the chute with me ... adds to much weight.

3 MG bullets do a chute just fine, even one will do. as long as you hit the guy and not the shrouds or canopy then itll take half a hundred.

you know we are not talking about how to hit chute.........
we are talking about lives - even virtual
-
Chutes are spies, and must die! Kill them all!:cool: :D :) :lol
-
If it's virtual .... it's not a life. Get a life. ;)
Wait ... wait ... hehe ... vote against using your plane's armament. The enemy could blow up. Let's use the honor system. We say "bang bang .... I coulda virtually killed you" and we respond "good show `ol chap. Coups to you!."
Respect for life ain't the reason to hold off shooting a chute in Aces High. Conserving virtual ammo might be. :D
Now .... Artie .... at this point I gotta pat you on the back for some very fine fishin'. And you should take the compliment with a smile. `Cause there just can't be no way you're even a tad bit serious here, riiight? :)
-
only idiots open there chute above 600 feet...always fun to watch dweeb after dweeb auger because of they think they can hit you
-
Virtual pilots virtually killing virtual chutes, should be virtually court martialed and thrown in virtual jail, for virtually the rest of thier virtual lives.

easy and simple way to stop chute shooting..................... .....
DONT BAIL.
chutes can and are used to spy on enemy, so they die like spies should.
if ur finding ur self dieing in a chute alot, stop complaining about it
and work on ur fighter skills, so u wont have to bail so much.
whels

Not that I want to see WB fail, but I can't wait for the flood of righteous indignation.
Chute Killing Advice: Aim for the pockets, that is where the dynamite is.
-
If AH had a better chute model I wouldn't have to shoot them.
The wind force of a 300+ MPH plane roaring past a chute should make it collapse and send the bailer plummeting Wiley Coyote style.
-
How about this...
It is outrageously unfair that players bailing from GVs cannot be strafed and killed. When a player "bails" from an GV (especially an osty), I think instead of an immediate ditch or capture occuring, said player should instead be placed in a chute at 5000 feet so that I may shoot them.

Shooting chutes is despicable and should only be done if ya can get there in time.
-
NO to chute shootin!!!!!:D
-
I agree. There is no good reason to kill chutes...
Well, ok, there is. Nothing better than a chute kill followed by a whine on channel 1. Ok, killing the chute of a squaddie during the TOD is even better, but this makes my day:

BTW, just imagine they are part of the Palestinian Suicide Airborne Brigade. Why else would they blow up when you shoot 'em?

LOL.. laugh of the day... its a game... remeber that.
-
chute rhymes with shoot, so its ok to shoot a chute. In fact, its ok to shoot a load of chutes.
-
Every chute is sacred.
Every chute is great.
If a chute is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Whining about chute shooting is almost (though not quite) as bad as whining about HOs. He will be flogged and his chutes soaked in battery acid.
-
When we have the ability to say, pick up a downed pilot with a GV or a C-47, and bring them back to a base, then I would possibly be upset about being Chute shot.. But now..Who cares..
The ultimate pissoff is Being ganged 2 vs 1, surviving, only to also shoot the Chutes of the gangers.. That really gets the text buffer flowing....
-
Chute shooting ranks just below kill stealing in my book.
MiniD
-
I'll give up all E, turn off of a turnfight, even leave a wingman hanging to kill a chute. In fact, when I fly with Rude or any of the BKs we race each other to "off" the chutes of pilots who hate to be virtually killed.
Plus . .they blow up. I mean if you don't wanna be killed, why bail out with all of the explosives?
-
Like i said chutes are spies and must die! I will kill a chute every time. So I vote YES to chute killing.:D
-

You're right, while killing chutes is important, stealing kills is even more so.
-
When I climb up to a bomber and the guy bails before I even shoot him then I shoot his chute even if I have to auger to do it.
If I get shot down and Im over enemy territory I dont bail. I dont know if its true but giving up a kill and then getting captured doesnt sit right with me. One life one death. So ride it in baby!
If I get shot down over friendly area and the guy that got me is already dead then I bail. That doesnt hurt your k/d even.
Chutes that are walking around our field get shot.
If Im bored or I felt like the guy was a dweeb or not very likeable I shoot his chute. Its a statement so sue me.
If Im in the middle of a furball and I see a chute almost down to the ground I have to run to it and kill the guy. Its a compulsion that the meds dont cure but further treatment might.
Guys that pull the rip cord at 30k get to ride it down. I might be waiting when he gets below 1k if I can arrange it.
-
nevermind.
-
Take no prisoners!!!
-
your joking me right, i mean whats the big deal if you landed after bailing out, or get shot down outta the sky... it doesnt make a differance in pointes or anything i mean who cares if you get shot down or not from a chute shooter
-
I promise by all that is holy that I will never, ever chute your shoot if someone else beats me to the punch and explodes you into a thousand particles of pixel dust.
You have my word on it.

IMHO there should be an award for most chutes shot each tour, say 100 perks! Oh, and he who gets shot down by the most chutes gets all perks erased!

I sure hope this was a troll... (I'm far too lazy to read past the first reply in a thread like this)

you caught me in my glorious moment of causing tons of grief cause i forgot to drop "1" troop:lol
-
The chute shooters have their day made when someone whines about it. But what's even better is when you bail, and leave pulling the ripcord to the last second. Chute shooter comes in low, loses it, and crashes - LOL! I've got a few kills to my credit in plane type "chute". :)
Otherwise, chute-shooting is the tip of the AH dweebery iceberg. I could also say that it's ungentlemanly, but that cuts no ice at all in this community. :rolleyes:
My attitude is - let the guy waste his ammo if he wants.
-
I remember reading about the honor that many pilots reported, either after shooting down, or being shot down and the salutes exchanged. If I am one on one out in the middle of nowhere and I get the upper hand, therer is no way I would shoot the chute. If there is a furball going on and an enemy chute is over our airbase giving check 6 calls and can report on the battle, he is toast.
Tapakeg

I only kill the dweebs wich are about 99.9% of them.
The ones that opened their chutes above 5K i let live btw.
There must be a reason they explode .
:rolleyes:
-
Not that I waste my time or ammo unless their over my field.
Your aurgument holds no water for the "humanity" of shooting chutes. Not when a majority of people in this game uses ACM to increase their kill ratio.
How honourable is it to vulch a 262(or any other plane) just taking off, or landing, and you know your laughing like a madman because you just got the "dweeb"......Or how about a "rope-a-dope"? Or even doing the one thing that most pilots did in WWII and "sneak" up behind the guy? How "honourable" is that? What difference is there?
If this game was about "honourable" then everyone should fly the same plane, go to the same alt and cold pass the first turn.......
So get off the "stupid" question of chute shooting and come over and vulch me like a good Honourable person...........
-

You do it because if you not he will try to kill you..... we are still fighting
We are talking about unammed pilot that have bailed from damaged plane. I'm not talking about troops or goon that going to take your base or any other type of fight when you have an advantage - that is fight. But when we talking about bailed pilot.... it is little bit different..... you got him - you was better - let him get to the ground safely.
To all that talking about that this is just a game. But we still have no Nazi Symbols - swastika on LW planes in AH why? Is it just a game? There is things we should do and feel them even playing game.

artik,
You seem like the "sensitive" type.
When you were a kid, did you get upset at watching Wile E. Coyote get blown to smitherines?

The last part is what kinda perks my curiousity, Esk. Have we an Israeli campaigning to put the swastika in AH? And how this supports a plea to stop the "senseless and brutal virtual violence of virtually killing players in their virtual chutes instead of in their virtual planes" is lost on me.

7 minutes 15 sec left to go.
-
still doesnt hold water ------still a combatant(though hes swingin in the breeze) ----still worth points (against him)--and usually not my kill thats in a chute------
Maybe we shouldnt shoot the troops coming in over a town in their chutes cause they are just doing their jobs and wont fly a plane when they land........
This game like life isnt fair -----otherwise I would NEVER get shot down.......so leave the choice up to the individual to make.......not a UN sounding "vote"...
I personaly do not choose to shoot them --likewise I dont care if someone else does.... In America we call that freedom of chose, since it is a "non" matter. What you decide to call "honourable" in this matter is not aplicable either....
-
there are no nazi symbols on the planes, because it is illegal in Germany. Im sure there would be if that wasnt a factor to make it more historically accurate.

Yes there is...all bailers have a TNT backpack which they can use against your base.That is why all chutes must DIE!
Besides,chute killing is the sport of kings.

It's all about points and rank, eh?
TIPS:
1) Don't want to get shot in your chute? Simple, don't bail.
2) Don't want to get vulched? Don't up a base with enemy planes buzzing that base.
3) Don't want to get killshot? Take off the frikken blinders and watch your SA.
4) Don't want to get cherry-picked? See #3 above.
If you get shot, you don't really die! You get a spanking, brand new fighter to do it all over again.
Get a grip.
Repeat after me "It's a game, only a game."
*************************
you have my vote since chutes can't shoot anyway.
i'd hate to arm the lil screamers with a pistol or something, they might get lucky and hit my radiator while i'm straffing them.

but some of the practitioners are pathetic shots. Some guy in a spit shot at me last night in a chute, and missed. It was no snapshot, he came in straight from about 1.5 out.
I taunted him severely on channel one. He was too ashamed to reply. I hope he got a complex from the experience.
shubie

They're already on their way back to the ground; shooting up their chute just helps them get there faster. :D

Human life is sacred, each and every person is valuble and special. We should work out our differances with flowers and hugs. Chute shooting needs to be eliminated. We should all make a solemn pledge, upon our honor, not to shoot our fellow man whens he' dangling like early duck season! Actually I wish you could shoot the dang chute like in Il-2! I want to see the spitdweeb I just owned screaming as he plummets to the virtual ground dangling under a burning streaming useless hunk of silk. Then I want to land next to his wiley coyotesque crater, kick him, then steal his virtual wallet.
Ahh gawd that was the best laugh Ive had in awhile.Thank you.:rofl :rofl :rofl
-
I finally did it tonight. I climbed up to 28k to kill a buff formation headed for our HQ. When I got to within 4.0k of his bombers he bailed out and pulled his ripcord. I dropped full flaps and landing gear and circled around him until he got to 800ft where I shot him in the head.
Channel one was suspiciously quiet just then. No satisfaction without the whine. I know who he was though. The film doesnt lie. :rofl

Why bail anyway. You got shot down… ride that puppy into the dirt. Oh, yeah, it’s a score thing right? Quicker your on the ground the faster you can reup. You should be thanking them.
The way I see it, you lost, you should be dead anyhow, and it’s kind of fun seeing how many people try and take the kill on the ride down. Might even get a prox or two ;).
