I'm not a religious follower of my score...I like to use it to see if I'm improving....but...

When a field is capped, and I'm upping to defend.....and I'm getting wiped out before the engine starts........

Is there some way that a death like that does not go against your score?

I dunno...you have to retract your gear, or get 10 sec of flight before you get marks against you?

For the really anal score watchers...it might encourage them to attempt to defend a capped field.

Just a thought

Well, if you like to "protect" your fighter score in this situation, score the run as attack.

Otherwise nope, no way to avoid having a kill being refistered in score.

You don't defend a caped field by taking off from it anyway. You defend it by taking of from a nearby field and vulcing the vulchers circling the field hoping for a n00b taking off.

And no, there is no way of protecting your score like that.

Or you can do what I do and up a il2. It can be scored as a bomber and has them big 23mm guns. Get off the ground and ho every vulcher you can.

Or up in a GV, or hop in the field ack.

Personally, I prefer the M-16 as I find the quad .50s much easier to land hits with (then again, I'm more accustomed to the ballistics of the Brownings vs cannon) and they can be real messy. As long as you get guns on the target it's fairly easy to discourage someone from strafing you. Bombs and rockets you need to worry about, but so does an Ostwind.

I quite like the quad 40mm of the CVs, though.

You need to get accostumed to firing the brownings? I thought they were just point and kill interface.

gotta luv it:D I did this Friday, base being vulched, decided to up IL2, take off, as I'm rolling down the runway, I see a Yak poping over the hill headed straight for the runway right at me. I get wheels up as he is clearing the hill. He points his nose down and comes right at me, I raise my nose and give it to him right in the face as he fires back. Boom!! Yak dies, and I lose an elevator hehe:p

I wish I had filmed it, but a couple of weeks ago I LANDED 6 air-air kills against LaLas, 51Ds and Tiphies in an Il-2. It was a thing of beauty.

couldnt agree more. check my kill stats this tour

35% are in IL2, and i have killed more than died in it too.....pesky vulchers.

whats more, when you beat them back, the IL2 is fantastic for de-acking and repaying the vulch 10 fold.

lol, just checked myself: 45 kills for 17 deths in IL2.

Actually no, what I usually hear is "the bombers are tater/999" depending and then everyone dives in hopeing for a tater/999 kill.

All in fun.
