Simple Moral & Ethical Question

[Lusche]

Well I've heard replies stating that it depends on who it is and if they ran and such.  I gotta ask this question... Just how do you frigging know who it was or if it was the same plane that ran from a fight?  

Often you can. If you keep him in sight all the time you know it's still the same that "ran" (which, for me, isn't any reason to get upset and trying to vulch him at all), or the one that just shot your squaddie out of the sky (which also revealed the player's identity)


Two practical examples:
- I know from other teammates or just by monitoring CH200 that Gianlupo is around.. I see a crippled Ki-84 trying to land. Most probably I would let him.
- I know that a ever complaining/whining/insulting  CH200 jockey like CMustard or any of his current incarnations is around, due to the same reasons. I've been told hes in a F4U... I see a F4U trying to land... go figure.

I will vulch you no matter what. Not the fact that I need a kill.....there are usually plenty around. But the fact that it is hilarious. I play this game for personal entertainment and that could be one of the most entertaining aspects of the game.

[Soulyss]

If it's a squadie then the answer it's a no-brainer, of course I'm going to vulch them.   If not a sqaudie then mitigating circumstances would come into play but generally no, I'd like to think I wouldn't in that particular case.

In RL, probably not. Have the humiliated enemy pilot bleed and bring bad morale to his fellows like Sailor Malan would have put it.
In AH...depending on acks

[WWM]

I have only vulched once in the last year and it was this exact situation.  Guy tried to vulch me landing and missed, getting hit by ack in his attempt.  I re-up, chase him back to his base and vulched him on landing.  Then he had the nerve to complain about it.

So, No. (Unless.......)

[mensa180]

No, the exception being if they did something amazingly dweeby, like coming in with alt, and made a HO pass every minute or so after extending for 3k, only to finally run to ack.

[waystin2]

Vulch.

[Waldo]

 Got vulched on landing, Hopped in field gun and nailed him   

[CAP1]

no. if he made it that far, he's earned any kills he has

[Steve]

If he's the only target in the area, doesn't already have a pile on him, and I'm not friendly with them.... kill 'em.

[APDrone]

If the lander is an LA-7, Spit ( any ), Tempest/Typhoon,  or Hurri-2C, vulch.  No quarter ever given.

Other than that.. depends.

[Jaccpot]

For me if I see RED your DEAD no matter what. If im over the air field and see some one landing or takin off lights out for them

Simple fact is because they would do it to me!!!

[VansCrew1]

If it's a perk plane yes. If i know it's someone ill piss off by killing them yes. But other then that i would not risk damage to my own plane.

[Ack-Ack]

Vulch.  Vulching a plane landing pisses off the guy more than vulching him as he takes off, especially if they have a multi-kill sortie they're trying to land.


ack-ack

[Ack-Ack]

all I can say is....do I have rockets and bombs?????


Errr, seriously....probably not......

Last week Murdr and I were flying over some enemy base vulching with rockets.  Only managed to get 3 kills that way but it seemed like Murdr was scoring vulch kills with each rocket.  Was funny to watch.
