the best chutes are the ones that are dangling at 18k for some reason.  the pilot is on ch1 begging to get shot (near 240 last night).  a dozen 163's just circling...not firing..."let 'em hang."

Zosma, most kill chutes just to make you mad. Don't let them get to you :) Intentionally angering people is wrong imo and shows a lack of maturity. When your chute gets shot just know that it was a jerk and leave it at that :)

Several people have stated that instead of bailing when your plane is shot up, to just ride it in like a man. :rofl  no *real* man would ride it in if there was any other choice.

And Tbolt....the incident you are referring to from last night.....just as I pulled the triggers on that plane last night I saw the stabs come off (all of them), I let off the triggers immediately but it was to late :o . No stabs is the same as a smoking, burning wreck....he's not going anywhere but down. I will ALWAYS apologize for stealing a kill like that.


I will personally bail from my plane when it is no longer flyable. This is a simulation of air combat, and in real air combat real pilots did just that. If someone does shoot my chute I just get to reup sooner :)

Wonder how long it took them to float to the ground? :rofl :rofl

It's bad form to shoot up someone else's kill. If you kill steal like that from me, don't expect help clearing your 6, cuz I'll just watch you die ;) I will also intentionally kill shooter you at the next opportunity :D

Man, I hate it when someone cuts in front of me into my bullet stream,  and I die as a result. That's about the only thing in this GAME that really Pisses me off. Just about anything else I can live with.

It's less a matter of "norms" or "honor" and more a matter of not ****ting where you eat.

Most of the other topics covered in threads like this are designed to provoke the enemy: Shoot Shooting, Vultching, Ganging ect.

But when you rape a corpse on the way down you are provoking those flying with and around you. Who will be in a position to help/not help you in the future.

If I have the inclination, I'll put my plane between them and the enemy for the killshooter :)

Sorry Zos, Your an OK guy but your post is just plain G@Y.

I WWII if I saw a chute you bet that bastard would die.  If he didn't maybe the next time hes up hed kill me or worse one of my squaddies.

Boyington was known for going to Jap airfields and vulching them as they took off or were climbing out.

Yeager got his first 262 while it was trying to land.

I agree with you ramming is lame but it happens.  The best defense against this is avoid the HO.  I wish I could practice what I preach here tho 8).  

Your notion of Camelot in A2A combat is dead and has been since WWI.

Yeah this is a game so all the more reason this is a silly post.

Nice try tho.

I like slappy’s view of chute shooting – If he’s hanging out as a spy shootem.  If he’s high let him think about it all the way down.  I add, if I’m in the mood to see that nice explosion – I shoot em 8).

Don't worry Elfie.  I of course understand that.  My reason for asking the question was to get the poster thinking about why he makes that rule for himself. :)  Other than that, just admiring the train of tulips here, and what a beautiful lot they are! :D

I see.  So the only reason you don't steal kills is to save yourself from getting killed in the future.  Correct?  I mean, otherwise, provoking the other guy is good, right?  Really, who cares which "country" he belongs to, yours or the others. ;)

Not at all. I dont rape corpses because I don't find it fun.

I'm just pointing out why those who do find it fun might want to reconsider.

Careful, Sikboy!  He's slowly building a case to show how you observe common courtesy in an online game!  Flee!  Run!  Don't fall for his tricky, leading logic!
