HTs thoughts on camping

[Stampf]

First off if you up from a capped field and get vulched the shames on you. Period.
If your not savvy enough to take a look around in the tower and see if you can get up or not, you deserve what you get.
I can't improve on the way Hitech said it. However like anything, it gets carried to extremes at times. Little generals screaming about kill the town while they sit over the field and vulch etc. There are guys who really want to do nothing else. However they are often the same guys who won't deack, because they might get killed, or use ammo they could need to rack up another easy kill. Thats where the AH community comes in. We need to first educate, and then police our own.

On the flip side, instead of taking off from that vulched field, up from the next one over, bring something fast, and go vulch the vulchers! They are almost always low, often low on fuel and ammo waiting for the capture. So scream in, kill the troops, vulch the vulchers, and land your kills! There is nothing more satisfying.

This is Wisdom.

It's ok in any other plane though...

No but 96% of the time I see this situation that i described happen it's a 190 of some version. Makes sense it's a flying tank, good armor, speed and has a huge gun package. Strike a nerve, if you don't do it why should it matter what plane a I mention?

Only difference is that in war, the vulched is dead and cannot re-up to kill anyone ever again.  In AH2 nobody dies and the vulched can re-up as many times as they feel like doing so.  So, vulching in AH2 has nothing to do with real war tactics and any argument to the contrary is meaningless.  As far as gameplay goes, vulching in support of a field capture is justified - vulching to pad your score and puff up your ego is dweebery.

very true, the vulcheeees, did not have anything to say about it because they were dead,
kinda like those who got ho ed,the only one who has anything to say about a ho in real life is the winner,
and i bet thats nice, the lack of that whine

Get a clue..

Get a clue..

post one..

[moot]

It's not a flying tank, doesn't have exceptional armor (hello radiator?) except in the F8's case (lose parts in that one and any noob will outfly you), only the D9 has good speed but that's offset by the worse maneuvering in the game. Huge gun package?  Only on the heavy A8 loadouts and 152, the D9 and A5 are anemic for all their other good qualities.. The F8 is a dumptruck.
Boiling this clue down to its essentials says "you don't know what you're talking about".

[whiteman]

See you could have posted that first but then that would have made to much sense. I don't fly the 190's, from watching them blast through the ack and come out the other side not smoking and not seeing parts fall off they seem to hold up pretty good in my eyes.

[moot]

Nowhere near actual characteristics.. You can do the ack coal-walk with the right oscillation in any plane that's flying fast enough.

M00t speaks with wisdom. If any plane has a glass jaw, it's the radiator on the D9. Deacking, or even getting too near the ack is a real gamble in that thing.

When one of our bases is under heavy attack and at risk of being capped, I like to take a D9 to the enemy airfield and harrass the guys upping before they can get back into the fight over my home field. I may or may not make any kills (it's pretty easy to dodge a Dora pass), but I can tie up several guys who would otherwise be on their way back to cap my field. This may buy enough time for my countrymen to shift the fight away from our field towards the enemy. I don't consider this vulching or camping, and if I squander my energy, it pretty much becomes a suicide mission (especially if you're dumb enough to take that "flying tank" thru the ack  ).

Though I HATE getting vulched and camped, I will, if the time comes or is right, do unto others as they have done unto me.

What I'm missing, I suppose, is this:  What possible pleasure do you get from a kill that takes virtually no effort on your part?

oldman, it's like finding a $5 laying on the sidewalk

Fixed.

regardless, if it's beneath you to bend over and pick it up.  That's ok...I'll get it
