Simple Moral & Ethical Question

same as others, if it was good fight/good effort, he lands.

if he was a dweeb about it.. he doesn't land in one piece.

if I saw someone landing like this, and had no engagment, I just let him go.  

On side note, sometimes it is difficult to tell who is limping back with a pw, and who is just flat out running to ack.  unless of course leaking.

I will vulch landings when prudent, and expect to get myself vulched when I'm landing in the MA's.


that and in the SEA.. last FSO I tried the ole "chuck yeager vulch a 262 while it's landing".. Unfortunately I ended up by myself over enemy base in a p51 with 7 262's that still had gas

Just becouse said planes wheels are down, the motor is dead, the pilot is wounded,(doesnt mean the fight is over for me.) I think there is only 1 good choice for him,.....He must be vulched, and end his misery. I have no morals.

Sitiation:

You see an enemy aircraft attempting to land.  It's already down, breaks on, and coming to a stop.

The plane is deadstick...engine dead.  The pilot is wounded, blood on the cockpit glass.





Would you?:

Vulch it or not vulch it.





Yes or no question, no need for "War & Peace" replies.

Are you in the plane?

I had the exact thing happen to me when I'd only been playing a few months. Crippled, wounded,.. I slid to a stop and was vulched before I could .ef and land 5. So I say "No Quarter, waste him!"

We're all products of our childhood, be it virtual or real.

<-------Doesnt vulch

I think vulching is dumb and takes no skill to do so I dont do it.  Least let them get up with their gear up and have some sort of chance of fighting back.

I dont count the planes I was fighting trying run from me to their field and try to land without finishing the fight a vulch either.  I consider that running from a fight and not wanting to get shot down.
