Camping shouldn't be an issue if the maps are made properly where you can either pick another base or AAA takes care of them quickly.
I normally don't chute shoot, but i'm surprised to find out how common it actually was in the war. Pilots were not so chivalrous as you'd expect.
Typically, i avoid the hassle because it wastes ammo and it really seems to piss people off.
What happens sometimes is a guy may try and hang on to his plane, be it smoking or heavily shot up, and so i continue to shoot until i see the canopy fall off.
Sometimes i don't see the canopy fall off and the guy gets shot. So now i have a pissed off player because he got hit while bailing out. Instead, he tells everyone i'm a chute shooter.
So, honor, as i would have it, really is more about how you handle yourself after you lose or win. Do you make excuses when you lose or gloat when you win?
Nothing wrong with hunting the guy you just lost to, as its a game, and wanting a rematch is no different than losing a match in Madden, or any other multiplayer game.
I guess i have a difficult time with simulated honor. It just seems to detract from the people who've really been shot at, or seen people die. How upset can you be when your little pixel guy gets shot? It just seems trivial to me from that perspective, but i still avoid doing it because i know it tends to make people mad.
