I only shoot chutes after I let that C-47 get within 1k of me and I saw that wing off with my M16

My squaddie got 4 kills tonight in his chute. 4 guys collided with him. Theres a prolonged FE delay from bailing to showing as a chute. Most of the time it looks like an aircraft is hanging in mid air.

I have collided several times my self to this.

I only ever shoot chutes that are sitting on the field spying. Which brings me to an amusing story.
A few day ago a was shot down over any enemy base with two kills. Just for a giggle I ran into one of the hangars.
Result - By the time I was killed I had 14 kills, lol.

Does that figure also include collisions with disintegrating aircraft? It would explain the high number. I don't shoot chutes (waste of ammo in my Yak) but I have been known to fly into wreckage from time to time when I pack too much speed.
