why do chutes have icons?
« on: May 30, 2000, 04:12:00 PM »
no reason to keep icons on enemy chutes...
if possible while fixing the ground vehicle icons...

keep the bailed pilots plane from disapearing and keep the icon on it would be cool while the bailed pilot has no icon... same for the drunks... they already easy to spot as is.    

even friendly chutes dont need icons... just put killshooter on em hahahahahahah

It's very useful for dialing in the range when firing at them.

They have icons so we can spot them easier and get a better gun solution. But by all means take them off. I want to see that last look of horror on their face when I get close....

Why  use ammo when you can have a titanium reinforced prop?

I agree, no icons for chutes.  Too many times I wonder why a countryman is not going after that con under him and then I have to switch icon mode to discover that he is in a chute.

Yes quit icons of chutes, except from f4U's   hehehehe

BTW I wont dive on a F4U chute to kill it...but hey if he is around me he is calling for that!!!  

P.S.Watching that the Dweeb-plane-o-the-week is Niki It will be in my chute killer list soon  

IF you want über, you'll pay fer it ROLF!  ...if you dont want to be chutekilled, take a 190 and learn to fly (hehehe)

Tongue-in-cheek (better to let this clear, dont wanna start a flamewar here)

Funky baby! Please retract  

The reason there are icons on chutes, is the exact same reason we icons on aircraft.
