 Since the introduction of whirbies I have seen dramatically less vulching and I think that was definitely an issue we all wanted to see addressed.

I actually wholeheartedly agree with this, and consider this the primary "good" effect of the introduction of WW. I've many of times seen the pigs lining up at the trough to vulch and said "Gee guys, lets allow a few of them to get gear-up for sport". No takers. What I think we *really* need are multiple 20MM manned gun positions at the bases.
"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."

I see no difference in tactics. Like someone said, they were taking base prior to the werble. I have found my accuracy is much better in the Osty than it was. So far this camp I have killed many IL II's with it. If you hit a wing or tail they go down with one shot.

Besides there are ways around the slow turret. One person suggested leaving it in first gear and just use rudder controls.


You are correct about the vulching part. People stayed away from bases. The other day, when there was a great opportunity to tear down a town and capture the base they instead chose to de-ack the field and vulch.

I looked at the K/D ratio between this month and last month. It's dropped from 1.95 to 1.69. Be interesting to see next month's stats.

I don't know about you, but I can spot a really hot sheep sashaying her fluffy hips from 10 miles away.

I don't care if they're hiding in the woods, towns, or under the bed.

I find them.

Its a gift.

Well Boner, I want what you are taking cause the sheep are all gone. ROFLOL...

All the Best...

Agreed. And in reallity, most bases would have .50's sprouting like mushrooms whever there was a few feet of space. Think about it, if YOU knew you were going to be under attack, wouldn't you want as many .50's and 20mm's whever you could?

And we should have the flackviering (probably shot the spelling).

I'd start my account back up if they ditched the GV's. It's not why I quit but it would be a damn good reason to come back.
As of this morning, 21% of kills in LW Tour 116 were made in the top three vehicles: Panzer, Wirbel, and Sherman.  Add Ship Gunner and the percent of total kills goes to 27%. 

There is a very significant number of people who enjoy low speeds and zero altitude.  If this is how they want to play, live and let them dodge ord.

i've never seen a problem with gv's. they're not my cup of tea, but i do enjoy them from time to time.

they can be useful too. i've had to drag enemies over them, to try and regain an advantage. even just last night, i had a guy drug me over his countrymen in flakkers(i dunno what kind). twice. after i finally shot him down, he pm'd me laughing at the fact that they kept missing me.

Yes, and like 50% of kills were probably made by fighters. Still not a lot to complain about IMHO.
