Parachutes don't always open automatically when exiting the plane. Multiple players including myself had to manually push '9' to deploy parachutes on at least one occasion (I noted "western plane"). I've also received multiple reports of other players hitting the ground.
I'm not sure if I have been in a plane that was hit by flak and was going down to initiate this requirement. I don't know how common malfunctions were and I don't think they had reserve chutes anyway so I can't rationalize this is intended to simulate anything realistic unless the soldier hadn't attach to the static line yet and had to manually pull the line like a rip cord after hastily exiting.
Please correct title word *Parachutes to calm my OCD then you can remove this line.
