Parashooting isn´t the nice style, but as far as I know, does neither the parachutes, nor the parachuter have any damagemodel?

On several occasions I have hit the dirt with a 'parachute failed to open message'

The little man drops then tries to pull the cord, nothing happens and you see him windmilling his arms as if in panic, then SPLAT, end-ex

parashooting is legitimate business on raf pilots over england.
On germans over england, though, it's a breach of the geneva convention.

regarding bailing out, i can't bail out when i'm very low (< 25 m).. is this supposed to be a feature? i open/jettison the canopy and hit ctrl-e... but nothing happens. almost feels like the pilot is thinking: "screw you! i'm not doing it!"
If i gain an acceptable altitude, and hit ctrl-e again, it works perfectly fine.

Babi you're right. Your pilot thinks: "Screw you, i won't jump out at 25m and hit the ground like a Kamikazefighter seeing the USS Hornet with 16 B-25's onboard." And honestly i guess you wouldn't want to do it in real life either.

Sure i wouldn't want to do it in real life! BUT, being my virtual life we're speaking about, i claim my right to decide when where and how to bail out!
Is it possible to attempt a bail out at 10 m, going at 300 kmh in real life? Hell yes. Should i survive said attempt? Hell no, but that's just my problem

We don't need to shoot you in your parachute. We're waiting on the ground with pitchforks

"They don't like it up em"
