Basketball analogy: it's not "in your face" violence by the winning team. The game continues. Chute shooting is trash talking. Some take it in stride, some get pissed off, and some prefer not to do it.
Consider this case today in the MA. I'm flying in a 205, and engage a zeke. He turns hard. I turn with him once around and then realize that I'm a moron, so I just firewall it and head to the nearby shoreline where there's a "chute" on the ground. The zeke follows (at a distance of course). I strafe the chute, and that's guaranteed the fixation of the zeke. I drag him around a bit, then set him up high for a countryman in a Chawg.
I had another 205 sortie some time ago where I beat the same Chog pilot 5 times in one sortie (all ait-to-air). But now I'm winchester and low on fuel, so I head for home. The chog pilot runs 20 miles to attack me, forces me to turn, I run out of gas, and he gets me. In spite of the low level, I bail, and make it to a chute. Right before I hit the ground, he strafes me.
You guys would deny me the satisfaction of knowing I really pissed off that Chawg driver.
We should have a film contest for who can present the best guncamera action of chute strafing.
