The Crystal Ball 2

personally i think we should be able to blow parachutist's in half so the lower half of the body drops away, or maybe just a leg, arm or head. That would be good, after all this is a sim

You can't shoot Parachutists in CLoDo. I only tested to see if it was like 1946. One of our unit rules is no shooting parachutists, it stays a rule but kind of redundant now.

I want to be able to shoot him. And run into him. I want to be able to get his chute hung on my wing. I want to see body parts flying every where. Even open the side window and do a couple of fly bys with my Luger in my hand stuck out the window. This is a virtual life. We have the benefit of just respawning.

Or maybe we can atomize him with a MK108 !

But that would mean germans are doing the killing, no way, that never happened!

Only the dark side can do such horrible things, or even think about them.

No, but seriously, reds started it in IL-2. Along with ramming, flight takeoff blocking and spying blue text messages.

On one hand it is painfully obvious that having "live" shootable pilots would be more realistic, on the other I don`t want it to feature online battles since nothing good comes out of it.

There are other consequences of having shootable pilots. Any object a parachutist hits in the air destroys his parachute. And that means if you happen to have the luck of running into a modelled tree, you fall from say 10m and get killed.
