Vulch = Boring

[RufusLeaking]

--it's akin to walking into the forest, shooting 20 bucks and simply walking out...

Last time I was in Vegas, I shot a hundred bucks and walked out.

I just can't figure out the lead on a plane sitting still on the tarmac. Any pointers?

i know of one that we could ask for the lead on a deadstick 38j landing. he was pounding the poop outta me...and was so focused on me, that he got himself killed.

Well.  If Murdr feels this way, then I give up.

I've shared this outlook on the subject since before AH existed.

Yes........

Vulch = Fun     

[CAP1]

I tried to vulch a tree once after i saw him ho a squaddie. he got me too.

Here's my question:

I'm pretty sure during WWII a pilot wouldn't get a kill for shooting a sitting plane on the tarmac, with no pilot.  Would he get one for shooting a taxing aircraft or one on the runway?

I'm just curious where the line is, as that could be applied to gameplay.  If a player didn't get credit for killing an aircraft with wheels still on the ground it would separate those who vulch for tactical reason and those that vulch for kills.

Just a thought I had, otherwise I'm just fine with the way it works now.

[CAP1]

i tried to vulch an m3 the other night. his wingman the tree got me. 

[Wreked]

Tree that got me LAUGHED!!
I "reprorted" it for rude/insulting laughter but HTC laughed too!

The entire Tree Squad should be turned into tooth picks eh!

[Nemisis]

Match sticks man. That way they burn.

I say we all have a vendetta against trees now. they must pay for what they have done to CAP1. He is just one of may victims (the entire population of our animated cartoon world). Just another reason we should get incendiaries.

I'm just curious where the line is, as that could be applied to gameplay.  If a player didn't get credit for killing an aircraft with wheels still on the ground it would separate those who vulch for tactical reason and those that vulch for kills.

The ONLY time I vulch is if it is a 262 or something that will totally own the rest of us, if they try to up 30 fighters or a large group of bombers.

Oh, and does that question imply you are fine with tactical vulching?  Just curious.

Oh, and for me, the line is once it's 500ft off the ground it's fair game. Or if it's a gv then once the driver has time to get his bearings and starts to, well...operate at a level of something other then "where the f**k am I?".

Each country had a slightly different set of rules for claiming an enemy aircraft "kill". The U.S. wasn't a furballer nation  its target was to destroy the Luftwaffe. To do so it targeted German airfields with fighters. U.S. commands also credited aircraft destroyed on the ground as equal to aerial victories.

Nothing against my country but that shouldn't have counted as an areial kill. maby something on the order of destroying an AA gun or a gv.

The notion was to encourage pilots to shoot up German planes, wherever they found them.  It worked very well.  Note also that statistically it was far more dangerous to strafe an unmanned plane on a German airfield than it was to fight a manned one in the sky.

An AA gun or GV wasn't going to fly off the ground if left unstrafed.
