How about the other way around too, I would like to be able to shoot down when hanging on my chute.

irl paratroopers basically never used weapons while landing as its impossible to control the parachute & a weapon, the most often didnt have them in their hands and even if they were shooting, every shot would have less than 1% chance of hitting, leading to the doctrine of not shooting while landing.

absolutely needed, i think DF is too lazy to code proper parachute mechanics, maybe they dont even have proper hitboxes.

how many shot would it take then? 1? cause if it one then that is super easy to kill them
make it 10 shot per chute then sure

It means more than 99% chances of scoring a hit? I like those odds…

I’m not even sure it would be possible to return fire with how they had their kit.

If you can shoot back, so can the AI. Maybe when you get your chute shot out, and you fall, you can shoot back.
That’s a warcrime
doesnt stop the jap tho so it realistic

Realistically you’d probably need to dump a whole mag into it. Those things were designed to still work with a few small holes in them.

Yeah, I don’t think a few little holes would make the whole parachute suddenly collapse.
Flamethrowers on the other hand…

Flamethrowers? You’d be living Zeppelin.

Maybe more, depending on the cartridge being fired. These parachutes weren’t small after all.

It’s not; these are armed combatants, not downed pilots. It is only a war crime to kill them when they landed and have surrendered.
I don’t even think you would fall - but rather simply drop faster

but as far as enlisted concern yea it fine since these pilot are armed

Yeah, shooting down parachutists is a warcrime. That said there’s plenty of warcrimes in the game already lmao

I mean we have armed medics directly serving as active combatants, so it’s not like we’re strangers to warcrimes.
