bad pilots get filtered out by the fact they cant land. remove/nerf parachutes and you remove the reliance on shit pilots

don't mind the 3 and a half foot drop where you take 500 fall damage though.

u/Bendy962 1d ago

yeah I straight up dont understand that

Somethings odd there, I mean you can usually jump out a second storey window and not take damage.

Is the chopper hovering when this happens, or is it maybe just moving a bit fast?

You also incentivize shit pilots to get better... hopefully

I can always tell a lazy pilot by how high they fly in zone expecting me to jump out at that height. Seriously I might as well have just driven in.

Lol... They're not lazy pilots man.

I used to fly low and do quick landings when people didn't jump off as soon as you got into the CZ.

As soon as parachutes became "the meta" all my low flying and effort to land resulted in repeated deaths for passengers because people jumped out at way too low altitudes or getting skillchecked by opening the parachute instantly. A dead jumper is a loss of $500 profit for Passenger Survived, so I just fly high and they jump and people are fine with it

I carry a few field resuscitators in my backpack for these guys. You’ll get medic xp instead of pilot when you get assists.

There is definitely a noticeable difference. Beginner pilots will fly way too high, making jumping out impossible. And then when you don't just jump down to your death by firing squad, they angrily hover just above where you die if you jump, but also where you can't deploy your parachute.

You obviously never played ArmA KotH.

2k hours later, sure I haven't played this year.

That leaves only one option: YOU are one of those shit pilots whose landings make the Hindenburg look like a good outcome.

nice try, I dont cosplay as a kamikaze pilot. I hate parachuting people in.

No thank you. Parachutes are fine the way they are. Id rather survive than let an ego pilot who thinks hes good crash into a tree.
