What do you mean "why waste programming time"? The code is already there, it's just disabled for that one seat.

If arma is not real life and should not be taken as such, why is it such a big deal that players would be able to jump out of a helicopter and live? You're saying that arma should not be realistic but this should be in the game because you think it makes it more realistic even though it actually doesn't.

IT'S A VIDEO GAME YOU CHODESNORKLERS

If I want to get in a helicopter, fly as high as I can, jump out and glide to the ground like a fluffy little meatsicle, then I should be able to choose to do that.

When it comes to multiplayer there are thousands of ways you can grief your team at any time. Disabling a fun feature in an attempt to prevent just one method of doing this is goddamn retarded.

Sure, almost no pilot would actually attempt to bail out of their helicopter in midair in real life. This doesn't matter. Arma 3 is a simulation VIDEO GAME. The whole point is that you can make decisions in this VIDEO GAME that wouldn't be feasible in real life. It's a sandbox.

Yes, you're right, in real life a pilot does have that option. They would then have to deal with being dead, or in the case of the extreme unlikelihood they survived they would be sent to prison or possibly sentenced to death depending on jurisdiction. These factors might cause said pilot to decide against bailing out of the plane, but they do not actually stop them from making that decision and acting upon it.

So since you can't make any kind of legitimate counter-argument, you just fall back on implying I'm an idiot because that means you win the discussion. Of course. Can't argue with that.

@Nod I found this by googling "arma 3 eject from pilot seat", why would it matter how old the ticket is? How I choose to express my opinions is entirely my prerogative.

@Dennis In what way is limiting your options, arbitrarily deciding "no, you are not allowed to choose to do that", realistic? In reality you can do literally anything as long as you are prepared to deal with the consequences. Way to make a baseless statement about "why people play arma" as if that somehow makes a sensible argument, I'm pretty sure at this point the vast majority of people play arma because of that dumb zombie mod, and this proves nothing. Now go stick your head back up your own asshole you jackass.
