Shoot chutes because if he bails successfully he gets half his points. (Yeah, yeah, the points thing again....) he gets 40% of them even if he's captured.

Kill them.

Why do you care how many points he gets?

It's a riot to hear some of you guys say that there is no honor in the game. That is truly the most outlandish statement I've ever heard. Many people who are on these boards have to begin with, some of them, do not. I tend to fight with honor in every situation possible, so there is absolutly no way you can call me out on anything.
Most of my shots that I take are on the enemy's six, so that it shows that I won fair and square. And with my expectations, that's what kills me when killing other people.

Most people don't have the same view as I have, and I get pizzed when someone dosn't fight the way I think that they should have fought. I hate poeple who HO, it's a useless, dumb tatic that gets you no were, if you miss. It just shows me that you have no skill, and it's going to be an easy kill.

I had a run in with a 190A-5 in my 190D the other day. We were just about Co-alt and I just cam out of a loop for another go around on another con below him. I look at him and decide to go after him. He sees me coming, so I pull a little to the right, to avoid the HO. Of course, he HOes, and takes off my elevator in the first pass. I loop and he loops with me. Now I'm really pizzed, this guy knows what he is doing, and he HOes me?  :huh
So we come out of the loop and he HOes me again, great. So I fly him around for a wile and some one finally comes in and kills him and I tell him, good job HOing me.
He tells me that I don't HO unless I have to. He had to HO me in that situation?  :huh

Just makes me wonder.

Then, he comes on the message boards and starts a thread about someone accusing him of HOing and was it really a HO or not.....

Say No to ch200.

I dont call it honor since this is just a video game, me personally wont HO unless someone gives me a good reason to, I pick people but I wont shoot at someone who has like 2 guys already on him and I will normally ask someone if they need help with a con before I engage. Calling it honor is alittle silly maybe respect I dont know :salute

This is what it comes down to for me.

I'm 48 years old, sitting at a computer, pretending to be a cartoon fighter pilot.  When words like honor get thrown around here, I kinda want to giggle as I look around and don't see myself as a 'knight of the air', but some past his prime guy sitting in his chair in his computer room.  Nothing real noble about it :)

If you want to shoot my chute, go for it, although I don't recall ever bailing out of my 38G as 'riding it in" seems a much quicker way to get back to the tower and a new cartoon pilot and P38G.  If blasting my half a wing 38 is what gives you a thrill, then feel free.  I get a new one everytime and I have yet to die :aok

I understand what you are saying, but maybe  I'd word it differently.  Maybe you are recognizing it wouldn't be a fair fight and not much of an accomplishment to shoot down a half a wing F4F.  Maybe you are just letting the guy see if he can get it down OK.

Playing fair, being a good sport about the game, and keeping it in perspective seems the most important things to me.  My life won't change one bit based on whether CorkyJr has a good or bad night in his cartoon 38G.  I just can't take any of it that serious in AH :)

Because pointmongering fosters bad habits like vulching, ganging and picking.  I am prepared to believe that there are some people out there who revel in the immersion of floating to the ground in a parachute.  I also believe that there aren't many of these, and that the vast majority of chute people are trying to preserve their scores.  So I hold it almost a sacred duty to shoot them, if doing so doesn't take me away from a real fight.

Honor doesn't come into the equation for me.  I get my joy out of killing the other cartoon persona's in game.
Of course, I work towards being a good sport about it, but honor?  who needs it  ;)
