It is a little odd that people would be so against a 1 in 500 chance of an AI aircraft shooting a another AI or player in their parachute. Especially so, when for almost ten years now they have been playing a sim where ground defences and ships routinely (and improbably) slaughter every parachutist within range.
Think about it though. What if you could
also choose the moment you pulled the ripcord? Both on and offline, this would introduce a tactical element and increase your chances of survival against both human and AI opponents.
What about if you could call on Air/Sea rescue for downed pilots in single player? (seriously Oleg, you need to consider this stuff) Just knowing that they are not immune to attack, you'd want to stick around if there are enemy in the vicinity. Imagine trying to ward off some predatory fighter. One eye on your fuel level as you wait for that MTB or floatplane to arrive...
