S!

Titus. The chute could be made collidable too, but if you collide on a human at speeds of 400-500km/h the wing will be heavily damaged so a loss of plane would be likely. That would make the wannabe chute killer to think first, is the chute kill worth losing own plane.

There is an account of Finnish Fokker D.XXI shooting down a SB-2 bomber and the pilot bailed out suddenly when the Fokker was about 30-50m behind the left wing of the SB-2 peppering the engine. Now the bailing pilot hit the Fokker so that the wing machine gun pierced his middle torso and he was cut in half and wing was covered in blood etc. The wing itself was also damaged quite extensively, but plane could land. And this was with less speed difference than ramming a hanging parachute. Gives an idea that ramming a chute is not good.

Sure the war was cruel and all kind of stuff happened. But IMO we do not need pilot killing in chute. A useless feature. IF included sure then make it penalized both off and online as these online scoremonger azzhats need to get in check
