Some people may find it fun and challenging to take off from capped field. Also, some people may find it fun to shoot at planes trying to take off. Why spoil their fun?

If you don't want to get vulched, don't take off from a capped field. If you don't want to shoot planes on a runway, don't.

This reminds me, we really need to set up a training clinic on vulching. 60 minutes on the art of setting up the vulch, preferred planes and ammo load, how to fly Cuban 8's on runway headings and last, but not least... how to laugh and have fun.  ;)

Many moons ago, Gruppe Outlaws used to do what we called a Nikee raid. The point was for the whole squad to survive , land kills together, and get our names "in lights" . Quite a dweebish (if I understand the term correctly) thing to do. But it was a hoot! 

We would takes heavy N1ks, to a base currently not under attack. Preferably a small base (less ack) and better still, one that was at a lower altitude than our base. Once we got there, first thing was to take out the VH (didn't need any pesky osti's shooting at us). If there were enough of us, those who still had ordinance when the VH dropped, would drop other things, radar, ord, etc. Next, de-ack it. Then...... start the vulch. 

Today, I disdain vulching. Not really for any altruistic reasons.  I've just been there, done that.  I'm trying to be a better cartoon air combat pilot and therefore I seek out the air to air fights. Not that I'm looking for a fair air duel either. I will try to gain the advantage when I can. It's just a lot more interesting is all.

I have more then a few Ostie films shooting 190s as they pass through our ack before the ack has been shot at all. I have seen 190D9s too but it probably isnt the smartest thing they can do. I dont think I would call any 190 the number one vulcher though.

Trying to "vulch" (deacked field, vultures circling low, victims rolling) in a 190 can be extremely annoying (especially in a D9). You have to keep your speed up a bit, and unless you're lucky, it's hard to get your nose around in time before someone else disposes of the poor guy first. I used to get really frustrated by this and inevitably pushed my luck until I crashed. Now I usually just accept it and wait for guys to actually get airborne before I drop on them. Nothing chivalrous mind you, just tired of crashing. :D

Well, listening to that answered a question I've had for a while.  I think HT truly does approve of the gameplay in the MA.

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?

If someone were to complain about getting vulched, up from a different field in a 109A8. You can get 6 or 7 kills off with that thing. Easy kills on low n slow vulchers.
