Re: Suggestion to prevent bailing without a chute

personally i like 2 c the ppl jump out and plumit 2 there death wether i get the point er not, gettin the point is nice but not as nice as watchin the person make a nice lil crater,

but im also thinkin maybe make it eaiser for the piolet, sorry fer my bad spelling, 2 get killed throught the window by like a big caliber round, not like sidearm or rifle fer a lil mer realism

Re: Suggestion to prevent bailing without a chute

Well for those of you who have played xww2 and im sure some of you have tank there are some rules to make gameplay realistic like NO bailing. If you bail you get banned or kicked from the server and if your tanking is burning you have to wait 10 seconds before you are alloed to exit. Now this only works because everybody accepts to follow these rules but with people who say they like jumping because they suck too much and get shot down this might be a rpoblem and after getting banned from 3 or 4 servers they might stop.

I personally don't mind the score difference, what I mind is playing with people who think like you.

See? It's this kind of attitude. I'm pissed because I got killed and I'm going to make life less enjoyable for everyone else. The guy who shot you isn't an asshole, he's a player doing his part. Have some respect for your fellow gamer.

Cry me a river. You guys are making a big deal out of nothing.

But when a good plane is available, I'm going straight to it, pilot kit or not. It's first come first get in this game. Also, bailing out with a chute doesn't offer anything I can use. See, the gun is pretty much useless (except the overpowered n02), and you'll end up in the middle of frickin nowhere anyway, only to get shot by a passing tank after having walked to a flag for 10 minutes. Those, are just all the facts of the game.

And you had the nerve to bitch when I rammed you spawn camping KT. Now I guess you know that being an asshole dosen't just make you stupid, it hurts others as well.

The joy of seeing joe selfish leaping to his death after I flame his ass is a never ending source of joy.
Knowing that instead of me having to hunt him down to stop him from capping a rear flag cause he's smart and grabbed a chute but instead is most likely TK'ing a team mate on the runway so he can try to exact his revenge on me makes it even sweeter.

I love you joe selfish, I love that you're on the other side and I love to see your name in grey, it's much more rewarding than a point. Bail away dumbass.

how true

this is just stupid game after all, i am both for and against bailing...............somones opinion on this matter is as changing as new england weather!!!! IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU WERE JUST THE ONE THAT GOT SHOT DOWN OR THE ONE THAT DID THE SHOOTING.

to the person that shot the plane into flames, feel proud that you had the skill enough to do so, dont whine if they bail before you can kill them, if you didnt kill them before they could bail TOUGH SHIT! all that means is that you werent good enough to take it one step further, dont criticize the bailer saying that "INSTEAD OF BAILING WHY DIDNT HE EVADE ME" this is stupid, he obviously didnt and he can do what he wants.

and to the person who bails out of their plane without a parachute, take solace in the fact that you denied that guy ONE more kill, because he's probably a pompous jerk anyways, he has enough numbers in his kill column right? andbesides ITS FUNNY.

everyone needs to just let out a chuckle when somone bails! you'll all lose less blood vessels in your brain that way.

think about it, the pilot gets pride for shooting down the plane,
and the bailer gets amusement without the shame of being killed (since it is better to die than to be killed) ITS A WIN WIN SITUATION!

Re: Suggestion to prevent bailing without a chute

could u make it so that it is easier to kill the pilot cause in rl a 20mm round would most likely go right through the plane cause the sides of the cockpit are only a few inches thick

Re: Suggestion to prevent bailing without a chute

I agree, I think this entire topic is about pilots wanting an additional kill tally to their score.

However, better (if possible) suggestion for this: Most pilots bail out of planes after all the health is gone and the plane starts careening towards the ground, right? Well, is it possible to script that if a plane is dying in such a way, the moment the occupant exits it, it'll explode right off the bat? Also make the plane explosion itself kill anyone within a couple of feet since it will explode immediately upon pilot exiting it. This should ensure that if you do kill a plain and the pilot tries to bail, he will die and you'll get the point anyway, for making the plane explode, which then kills him.

Is that possible?

Re: Suggestion to prevent bailing without a chute

I wonder, could you make the spotlight act sort of like binoculars in that when you use it, you can point at people and when you click the fire button, for everyone else on your team, they will see either a yellow beam (much thinner) or simply some other sort of marker, where you pointed the spotlight at? That way you could atleast pinpoint where you see enemy units, for everyone else on your team to see? Is that possible?
