The new all-time low is....

[halcyon]

...ramming planes from behind during takeoff on a vulch.

FFS get some basic avoidance skill.

That's not even close to the all-time low. Sorry, that's just a whine.

No, sorry.

A whine is an excuse to what you should have done differently in a detrimental situation.

You tell me what you can do when you're barely pushing 120mph and your wheels are still down.
Please....go ahead.

Maybe watch the airspace before trying to take off?

I mean, if the based is being vulched and you know it and you still take off - you take the risk. If you die doing that it's pretty much irrelevant if you were shot down or rammed.

I had someone try to do that to me a few days ago! Except he augered at the end of the runway instead of rammming me  .

My initial comment wasn't meant to put light on vulching...the airspace was hot and I tried to get a bird up for the defense.

My beef is if you're going to vulch, fine vulch me, but ramming from behind when you miss with your guns is just ridiculous.

Is it that important how you were killed? Your chance was pretty low to live anyways. Now he botched it (could have been me ) and by accident there was a collision on your front end. No big thing.

If that's a "new time low" to you, I congrat you to your supreme game experience in the MA's!

Actually ,"the new all-time low" is the IQ that cant figure out the collision model.

Now that is low.

Eh, it happens, too low, too fast, hanging in it too long, ack hit, wasn't intentional on the part of the vulcher. Certainly not a new low.

There really are no "new" lows, it's all been done.

tray upping from the hangar, pick the right plane, 1/4 tank of gas, stay low, WEP on, notch or two of flaps at airspeed, peel off hard right or left pulling up gear ASAP. I personally try to pull through the hangar pad or put some other obstacle between me and vulcher. Timing is everything. I can usually get up from a pretty heavily capped field and get going a turn or two.

I know you are looking for a way to counter and the only advise that I am able to provide is do not up at that base.

I also do not feel that these rammings are intentional I would be more inclined to believe that they are accidental due to the fact that newer players have a more difficult time realizing that they are that much faster than you and find themselves closing way to fast to pull off. I being a newer player have done this several times to planes in flight and at altitude. So I can imagine it happens even easier in this situation. It can be very challenging to get used to closure rates in this game.

Just my outlook on this subject

well..the first thing....don't up fro a capped base...........second thing........wep, and a notch of flaps'll get ya off the ground at 120 or a bit lower........third thing....a little rudder to steer yourself to one side or the other of the runway.......at 120, even if you are still on the ground, your rudder is effective, so you do have some directional control.......fourth.......do n't up from a capped field......

Keep in mind, that because of lag, in his front-end he may not even of rammed you.   He may have avoided you nicely and continued to climb.  If you're the only one that died then that's exactly what happened.
