Shooting Planes on the re-arm pad.

[Ack-Ack]

Will I kind of have to agree with akak, I also think that it's somewhat cowardly, but maybe that's because I live for the fight, and wouldn't want to fly all the way over just to shoot a "helpless" guy.

But I'm your stereotypical Mexican, I'm too lazy to actually work for my kills.  So if I see some poor schmuk sitting on the re-arm pad, he might as well have painted a target on his back.  Not only do you get the kill but the whines are so worth the effort and if you're just lucky enough, the other guy will get so pissed off that he'll create a thread whining about it.

<S> Re-arm pad vulcher guy, this Bud Light is for you.

People bang on and on about this being 'war' and all that... It's a game and landing/re-arm pad-vulching is cheap and un-sportsmanlike. That's all there is to it.

At the end of the day this a game full of people and where ever you have a group of people there is always a bunch of arse-holes in the group. There will always be one little hoot who was otherwise unable to shoot you down and will follow you to the ends of the earth to vulch you on landing.

This has nothing to do with the skill of any of the pilots that were involved.  It's juts a simple matter of the original poster not being too bright and sitting vulnerable on the re-arm pad with enemy fighters nearby.  He died of his own stupidity, nothing more or less and is the only one to blame for getting blown to smithereens.

Why do they deserve it? What's the difference? I enjoy the added bit or 'realism' of landing, rolling down to the pad, taxiing back and taking off again.

Score has nothing to do with that.

Then you should have no problem with the 'realism' of being strafed while landing, rolling down to the pad, taxiing back and taking off again.

How realistic is a 30 second re-arm anyway?

I se nothing wrong with strafing targets of oppurtunity. A plane on the ground is as good as in the bag. It was so in RL and should be so here as well. If he sits rearming whilst under attack, then hes asking for it. However, what I don't agree with is people doing a kamikaze dive into a fieldful of ack and dieing in the process, just to prevent the other con from landing or rearming. I have no problem to someone firing a rocket from 2k out to kill a con whilst rearming.

 Yea gotta agree if your on a covered base and dont have EF in the pad ready to execute you made a mstake.I see a sitting target on a base while Im straffing ack..Hes got a huge bullzeye on his wings.Next time be ready to bail out in a hurry lol

That's the attitude I'm talking about. Is the cartoon kill worth it?

You'll notice I put 'realism' in inverted commas, I did that for a reason.

Do as you will but this is the sort of 'it's a war' attitude that makes this game a little less enjoyable.

[Fariz]

It is ok.

[RoGenT]

I won't shoot landers or people re-arming

Uppers are fair game though

It has nothing to do about any 'war', it's simply about killing the other guy. 

Again, there is a very simple solution to this problem, so simple that I'm really shocked and amazed that you and the original poster just can't seem to grasp your brains around.  You don't want to be vulched?  Take off from a base that isn't under attack.  If you insist on taking off from a base that is actively being vulched then you should expect that you're not going to be reaching the end of the runway.

This kind of attitude is very negative on our community.  I think you need to take a "chill Pill" for a year or two.

No one made the vulcher VULCH.  He chose to take the easier path.

Boner did take a risk and knew what the risks were in advance.  I see no whining by him.  Only a person seeking justification to something that seems improper to his view.

Dogfighting is fun and the point of this game.  It's about winning the fight, not killing your opponent.

Anything  red icon is a target.

When I'm shot sitting on the rearm pad, I lacked SA.
When someone is actually trying to wade through all that base ack and the Wirbelwinds, he is taking a risk. When I'm sitting on the pad to keep my K/D up I'm taking a risk too. It's part of this combat game. It's my own responsibility to watch the airspace while doing it. We even got external views in fighters two years ago to help us with that.
And I do accept that I am a particular yummy target when sitting there

Your post is moronic in so many levels I just don't know where to begin and rife with hypocrisy on top of that.
