Default when you shoot a parachutist death he falls horizontal or vertical?

i want to check the game is correctly modelled cause in the old il2 a chutist would be falling horizontally and when he died he fell vertically

does il2 clod keep this mistake since my experiments point to a sheet of paper falling horizontally in the air

He would fall slightly jackknifed with his back to the earth and arms and legs trailing in the relative wind.

Shooting a parachutist? Some people have no honour.... no honour at all..... lol What's the next experiment? Blast radius when dropping bombs on hospitals?

I don't think shooting the parachutes even works in CloD, does it? I've never seen a collapsed parachute falling, or a 'limp' body.

IMO you're not right! The heaviest part of a human body is the head and the
chest! If that is so, the parachutist falls with the head down! But that is probably dependent on the height of the freefall.

It depends on what you shot him with...

Mostly, it depends on the angle of the dangle.

I've seen senseless parachutists after a free fall collision, they fell as i described it.

The cog lies a bit below the sternum, and the heaviest part of the body is still the rump.
