Realistic parachutes

I wonder if anyone has talked about this before. If you don't know, the parachutes aren't very realistic. They don't tear off in the atmosphere, they act as if they're a solid block.

In real life, parachutes fold when they hit the ground, and don't extend in space. The answer is simple, there is no air, unlike in the atmosphere.

I'm suggesting that parachutes actually act and feel more like parachutes instead of slowing you down only. I feel as if the parachutes are still in their pre alpha state. Its already been about a year when the game was released on steam.

Who's with me?

    Absolutely! I have a lander, and if you spin it while landing the parachute lines will phase through each other instead of wrapping up into a cigarette roll. (when the lines of your parachutes basically braid themselves and your parachutes collapse.)

    I am with you, the chutes don't feel very real, Like you said when they are in space they wouldn't deploy. They don't even fold when they hit the ground, they just glitch their way through it. and in water, they would just fold and float on the surface of the water.

    i am with you, and i would add one thing. have the parachutes, when opened at high altitude, collapsed, and unexpanded, and once in thicker air, expands open to the expanded size, like in kerbal space program, or like in real life

    I use a parachute when re-entrying and the command pod starts spinning out of control
