New weapon kill stat - Parachute kill!

[Lunarwolf]

Im proud to announce that I got my first parachute kill yesterday evening. After much positioning to align the enemy attacker behind me, I pulled up slightly to start an ascent then ejected and immediately popped the chute. The guy behind me ran into my chute and exploded. We both died but I managed to get the kill.

Anyway, he says he was at full health and it seems he hit the parachute just like he would any other solid object in the game. I felt bad for him cause I had been getting lucky and lighting his and his friends planes up all night, and he finally gets into a position to get me back and my parachute does him in.

You can land on people and kill them while you descend with parachute. I've done it twice, both times unintended and thankfully not a teammate. I guess its the same collision that happens when a supply crate lands on someone.

So, what does the death message say when you kill someone with the parachute?

[Ubermensch]

haha killin someone by landing on them, gotta give that a try now.

Wow... I know you can jump onto someone elses parachute, but I did not think it would destroy a jet (like running into a titanium tree... or fence).. Wow.

Well thats pretty sweet, now I want to see pics of someone riding a supply box as it floats down.

Get busy.

I found that one out by accident when I bailed with somone right behind me, he ran into me and we both exploded about 2 secs after ejecting. I knew something was odd because my plane kept flying on. Took me awhile to figure out what happened, but I eventually figured he flew right into my chute.

You can also kill someone by throwing a grenade at them.

No, not when it explodes. Literally, when the grenade hits their body. Funniest thing I think I've ever seen.

Ive exploded a fully loaded enemy chopper with my parachute once, boy what a day that was.

I'd love to see some screen shots of these antics, if you guys can get them!

I had that, when it happened to me the first time, it was funny as hell. It might have happened to me like 5 times where I killed the guy just by throwing a nade at him.

[ZapStarfighter]

Oh man, I only wish I had movies of some of things I've seen in game.

My personal favorite is the time a teammate was standing on the railing overlooking the market on SaK from the square outpost, and another teammate ran around the corner and threw an ammo bag at him. The guy must have thought the support teammate was an enemy cause he freaked out, backed-up off the railing, fell and died.
Then the support guy said, "At least you had full ammo"
I nearly pissed myself.

I saw someone drive into a low-idling BH with an APC once. It was funny to watch the helicopter sway back and forth as the APC grinded underneath it. Finally the APC fired enough into it to kill it, but the BH explosion then killed the APC. Ahh...

Does a teamkill count? I popped my chute and landed on my friends head and killed him~
