Simple Moral & Ethical Question

[Ack-Ack]

Generally no, but not a scenario I come across as I never damage anyone. 


<S>...-Gixer

that's because a P-38J will zoom in and steal your kill before you can do any damage.

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.


ack-ack

it is so much fun vulching with rockets, i remeber once i bombed some bomber with a 500lber that was just sitting on the egde of the runway looking like he had no idea what to do   

got 3 kills

[Messiah]

depends on if I knew who it was or not

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

If i watch you gundown 2-4 of my country men, and i have to fallow you all the way back to your field, you will end up dead or crash land without gear before i get'yuh.

All depends on if they deserve it or not, if they shoot me down 4 times in a row, then i most likely wont care enough to track them back to base for revenge, something about punchin' me in the jaw will have no effect on my persona, hurt my men/family/squaddies, you are one dead duck.

If I know the person who is landing was a dweeby player that ran from fights, yes. If it was a person that actually fought, no.

[ink]

easy NO

and i have been vulched taken off and on landing, still dont seem right, if i am here for the fight why would i ?

but each player has his way of it, and its good for them!!

[CHAPPY]

Landing or not VULCH IT

[John Curnutte]

In the words of an old wise one ( Its a dog eat dog world out there and sometimes you are wearing milk bone underwear ) but really its on the situation at hand and sometimes I have a heart , and its also been done to me many times . So its a toss up .

You didn't say if this was in cartoon plane land or real life.  

If it's real life you speak of then yes I would vulch it.  

If it is cartoon airplanes you speak of then by all means I would not vulch it because that would be immoral and unethical b/c it is serious business to take a cartoon life that can be instantly reincarnated.  

[Guppy35]

Speaking as one who often ends up sitting in a smoking wreck on the ground, because either half a wing is gone and I've had no choice or I've been so slow that i didn't blow up when I hit.

I'd say about 80% of the time I'll get vulched while I sit there.  I've gotten a number of proxies that way too as they auger in while salivating over the free kill

With that in mind my first instinct if I see a guy trying to get it down in a plane that can no longer fight, I let him go.

[Hazzer]

No

[Delirium]

If the guy gave a good effort, more so if I know who it is, I'll let him land it.

If this same guy came down from 15k, did nothing but pick/run and eventually overshot, I wouldn't let the run to his ack save him.

[Lusche]

If this same guy came down from 15k, did nothing but pick/run and eventually overshot, I wouldn't let the run to his ack save him.

That would explain why people are always trying to vulch me on landing 

[Zazen13]

Just don't vulch at all then you don't have to concern yourself with splitting hairs, works for me...

[Erkel]

I'm old, I'm slow and I'm half blind.
It's about the only way I CAN get a kill...
