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.


Spoken like a true 12 year old, which is sad because your about 50 now right? Grow up. This thread had nothing to do with the "allied flock" but about vulching. Why can't you keep it on topic? Make your own thread to cry about the allies hiding in ack. And the luftwhine has been beatin to death.

Supa, you clearly do not know who you are talking too in that insolent manner. Storch is the arbiter of all player actions, if you do not conform to his standards you are punished by being labeled as such here on the BBS.

I totally do agree with you that vulching should be discouraged... no arguing there at all...

Vulching is one thing.

However, strafing a field and any planes that are attempting to up or land that is fully acked and defended is something that occured and is historical.

I strafed a control tower today just for fun. :aok

Yes, it happened in real life.

A full squadron of Tempests made a full-throttle on-the-deck pass over a German field. One pass. Only 2 planes made it out the other side. And one was so badly damaged it didn't make it very far. There was a story about this from the surviving pilot's point of view.

Yes it happened.

But not at all like we see it in AH.

BatFink, I was Flyin SFer's wing that night and gave him crap over it afterwards. Everyone in our squad is aware that Vulching is loooked down upon. Be know that soon as your wheels leave the ground your fair game  :aok

Been reading "The Big Show" again eh?

I been reading "Down to Earth" Strafing Aces of the Eighth Air Force.

Also in real life things were not so open.  It was harder to see the fields and likewise the gunners had less warning if the strafers didnt just drop straight down but followed proceedure to come in on the deck from miles away.

Wow, a beaujolais, a merlot, a chardonnay, a chianti and a moselle all in one bottle!

I give it a 2 on a scale of 10.
