I cant answer that cause Im never in that situation. Im just not a vulcher, or not much a one. Thats not saying its wrong or anything cause capping a base is a perfectly sound tactic. Its the prolonged vulches for score padding that is kinda lame.

If it was a cripple still in the air that I'd just beaten in ATA and he was pretty helpless??

Yeah, I'd shoot him down. Maybe I wouldnt if I knew him but how do you really know in general combat?

A crippled plane, wheels down gets a free pass.

As above.  :aok

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


ack-ack

But only about 1 kill in 1000 and one day soon I'm going to pay back any tucker I find in a P-38.  :devil

As for the orginal question.. Answer is of course "No". I wouldn't vulch someone landing much the same as I wont vuclh someone taking off.

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.

I guess that pretty much explains Murdr's stance on my 30 second idea..

go figure.

No, I don't think it does.  It was just a case where two P-38Ls showed up at a base and all viable ground targets were already taken out.  Kind of like being all dressed up and nowhere to go.  Then I heard Murdr cry out on squad channel "Rocket vulch!" and then the fun started.

I was trying to land my P-38 the other night in LW arena, I get a check six just as I'm about to flare for touch down, look behind me and I see a P-51D diving on me.  I raise my gears, firewall the throttle and hit WEP and broke towards the bomber hanger at my 1 oclock and proceed to fly through the hanger then I see a proxy kill credit.  The guy tried to follow me through the hangers and he didn't quite make it.  I then flew around and landed safely.

Yea I had almost the same thing happen last night.. I was fighting a lone con on the deck in my K4 but only had only 7 rounds left and had a missing flap from another fight. I then see a Spit on his way to try and pick me, so I took the first opportunity I had to exit the fight and decided to RTB. The con I was fighting didn't give chase and RTBed, however the twit in the spit chased me all the way back to my base and tried to vulch me as I landed. I watched from the tower as the ack tore off his wing and secretly laughed a bit.  :lol
