First, welcome AW folks.

Now, for the new guys here’s the deal. When your plane is damaged to the point of being unflyable, hit <enter> 3 times to bail. Then –- and this is the important part-—immediately press <o> to open the cute. Time is of the essence. I suggest mapping these keys to your stick.

Do not, under any circumstances, wait until you are close to the ground to open the chute. This is especially important if there are enemy bishop planes in the area. If your plane is at low altitude when damaged, try to pull up some before bailing.

By following these simple guidelines, your bail out experience will be as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

Can you nail the guy in freefall in AH ? In AW it was possible.

(just a question, for no particular reason)

No Ripsnort, you know that's it's just an excuse to tolerate such a behaviors. Those guys will not hang for ever.
But I agree with you, when they are on the ground, treat them as spy, <scouick>.... not for the 30 sec they hang on their chute.

"treat them as spy, <scouick>.... not for the 30 sec they hang on their chute.

Well the transceiver they still have use of would normally have been left behind in that plane they just jumped out of. IMO Ripsnort is only suggesting one means of replicating a realistic and complete loss of communications. A very good method imo and one even I would highly recommend until such time as HTC can implement a true loss of radio comms when any pilot is hanging in the silk.

Last night I saw a guy sitting in the water off of A45 for 'bout 10 minutes..no doubt he was giving check 6 calls to his countrymates. So, after sinking both their Carrier and Battleship in my PT

I cruised over to him to kiil him, 2 of his country mates tried to stop me but they fell prey to my PT also. So for me, anybody that bails at more than 500 feet or sits on the ground for more than a second or two is fair game IMO

I am a rabid NON chute shooter myself. I don't waste the ammo, altitude and often position and I personally see it as a matter of disrespect. However, I also DON'T complain about being chute shot (though I did in the past.) Also, it's great fun to watch some moron lawn dart while wasting his time shooting at your chute.

Just my opinions. It's a game. A game that I love and have been playing for since December 1999. I used to have caniption fits (spelling) about being shot in a shute. I don't see it as a big deal now but I don't do it myself.
