"pick" not what most think

[ink]

 

well this is for anyone who says "nice pick"  when you are alone or with a bunch of friendlies.

A "pick" is only a "pick" when the one being "picked" is actually on someones 6/or engaged with someone.

in other words if you are "picked" and you were not in a fight, you were not "picked".

Would it fall under the definition of vulch.

Can someone define vulch.

Killing someone when their wheels are on the ground.
Soon as they come up fair game IMO....



Oh wait NVM. They're fair game as soon as they spawn

beat me to it,


 to even further the definition, -taking off or landing, wheels can be off the ground, if you just lifted off the tarmac, and are still slow, I would say that qualifies as a "vulch"

BnZ is when someone kills you when they have altitude and make a pass on you,

a BnZ can be a pick, and a pick and be a BnZ

wrong

BnZ  is a form of ACM, "pick" is not ACM,  you can be TnBing and "pick" someone, you don't have to be BnZing to "Pick" someone.

BnZ= Boom and Zoom, IE; stay fast, line up shot,take your shot, and stay fast, zoom climb up. Hartmann was a Master of this.

TnB= Turn and Burn, IE; turn fight(no not just flat turns) but it equates to turning to fight. and burning E.

You're tooling around at 2k on auto climb, and some guy at 550mph comes in from 15k and nails you even though you attempt to evade.


It's a pick.

It's a (often) skill-less manuver designed to reward via instant gratification with no danger, threat, or effort towards the picker's part.


So you're wrong. There can be "picking" when only 2 are present, and NO, a pick isn't "only" when the picked pilot was on somebody else's 6 oclock.

However, we are in agreement that too many people throw the term out, like the newbies saying "Nice HO" to a 3 oclock glancing shot, etc.

[Motherland]

Wait so you see the guy, attempt to evade, fail ,and that's a pick???

sorry Krusty that is not a "pick"  thats just bad SA,  YOU are the one who is wrong.

A "pick" is just as the word describes, Picking someone of off someones 6, or while engaged. now matter how you try to spin it.

No it isn't.

He is bouncing you.

[Ack-Ack]

INK is spot on in his definition of a pick. 


ack-ack

I could not think of the "word" that describes that thanx for the "back of head slap"

[Anaxogoras]

So you're wrong. There can be "picking" when only 2 are present, and NO, a pick isn't "only" when the picked pilot was on somebody else's 6 oclock.

You're redefining "pick."  The accepted use of the word requires a minimum of 3 pilots.

[horble]

It's a bounce.
