I don't suspect they were vultching. no one who regularly plays the arena condones vultching. what we do have is a maddening tendency on the part of ackllied players to fly only within the safety cone of the P106 ack complex. even if they have overwhelming superiority in both overmodelled aircraft against purposely nerfed ones and have 3:1 numerical superiority they still insist on seldomly venturing farther than 1/3 of a sector away from that ack. deacking it is a sound solution. that way when you get your 12 cannon hits on a spit and smoke his engine he can't run off to land you can shoot him running away even if he's on final. that is not a vultch. then you only have to worry about getting 1 ping from the wonderful a superior hispano which was known to kill from outerspace or the equally deadly 2 pings from the world's most powerful rifle cartridge the .303 which could neuter a gnat (or grits) from 10,000 miles out and take off the wing on a 110.

Storch, did you even read batty's post?? lol

This has nothing to do with anyones opinion of planes and cannons. He said 2 guys VULCHED him. Not only did they deack but they then vulched. So why your statement about deacking the port might hold water, they then went and deacked 15 and vulched. I think he wants to get a little community support to discourage that type of behavior. The rest of your rambling is totally out of left feild and has nothing to do with this thread lol:p

wow!!! thanks for your imput. I guess that the point of my post went well above the point on your head. it begins with the third sentence and ends with the fourth. it deals with the nesting habits exhibited by the allied flocks. it's been observed and even reported on in a recent issue of Audubon. the rest of the post deals with my favorite topic and I try to include commentary of that nature in every post because;

a. it always draws flies or gnats as BS usually does
b. i like observing flies eating, well we know what flies eat.

thank you for your participation enjoy your meal.

I got accused for vulching some time ago... was amazing...

The guy flew over the town near 46, he flew through a 1v1 fight that was just over the town. Inorder for the Allied pilot not to get outnumbered I dive in and kill the guy.

Then sudddenly he starts screaming over 200 like a little girl scout that lost her cookies. He called me a lamer, vulcher and hoer.

He accused me of hoing because I killed him on approach to the runway. I still today dont know if he was approaching the runway or engaging in the fight. In my book if someone tries to land in a combat area one shouldnt really expect to get a free landing. If one wants that then pick another field. Its not hard to know what fields are hot in the AvA.

I dont know if Im wrong or not but in my book vulching is killing someone standing still or taking off from the runway. If someone is landed and breaking it could possibly be viewed as a vulch... someone on approach to the runway... imho never a vulch...

Anyways adding a no vulching message on the MOTD could be a good idea... "Killing planes on the runway is considered bad form in this arena."

Hum ,, if you up from a base that is being vulched, who is wrong?
are there no other bases to up from?

Hum,, if you follow a wounded plane or someone who draws you into the ack, who is wrong?

I fly both sides and both sides play the same tactics, allies run to ack, axis run to ack, allies vulch, axis vulch, allies gang, axis gang, allies run, axis run. WHO CARES, this is an awsome game and I know it would be nice if everyone played by a set of rules but nothing is perfect.

Rule #1: SURVIVE to fly again.
Rule #2: KILL everyone:t

well, i geuss posting here was stupid.....

there is no doubt in my mind that this was pure vulching, my wheels were not even off the runway. sehob was also being vulched in a p47.

it took me 3 goes before one of them came headon and i got him whilst still wheels on runway.

like super said, storch you're way off.

kyuk, do you say vulching is good/encouragable in AvA??

i am not whining or moaning that i died, simply trying to, as super said, discourage this behaviour.

geuss no one cares, oh well.

No Bat,, my point was, your not going to get everyone to follow the unwritten rules. Just adapt to the incident and have fun.

A piont to remember is no matter who's flack your flying in the flack isn't strong enough the swat a fly out of the sky.

A few thoughts:

Some players from the MA don’t know anything but base capture, where suppression makes since. If (big if) there is agreement that AvA isn’t about capture then posting that and a discouragement of vulching would be a good idea.

There are many “easier” ways of achieving kills. Vulching’s just one. If someone believes the end justifies the means they are probably immune to shame.

If you’re doing “it” because “it” was done to you first, that does not make “it” (or you) any less lame.

I'm for it. I hate vulching.

Don't know if it's something to put on the MOTD, because that may be an imposition of personal preference on other people's game styles. But I'm all in favor of denouncing vulchers.

Just put the ack back up to .7 (The old CT Standard) and you can save rolls of film.

I put it in the MOTD for the FinRus a couple of weeks ago (No vulching, please!), but the fields being so close there, vulching still occurred - or people just don't read the MOTD...

I pity the fool who takes off under threat of being straffed on the ground. Find another field and come in with speed and altitude to defeat the attackers.
