Then why do I laugh so much?
 
There are few so readily willing to fight at "TOTAL DISADVANTAGE" "most of the time" such as myself

That is when it's the most fun after all

[Tyrannis]

How about any plane destroyed on pavement does NOT register as a kill, NO score fore it, NO name in lights for it and NO death, NOTHING but "wasted" ammo?





JUGgler

you mean do it like how battlefield:1943 does it?


if your kill someone on the carrier, you get no points for it.


but this wouldnt be 100% fair.

what about the bomber boys who are lucky enough to catch a plane on the runway when they drop there bombs. do they score a kill? ive done this atleast twice.

High altitude bomb vulches involve 100% luck, but are way more fun than the run of the mill "sitting duck ganged by three C-Hogs" type vulch.

A few years back on my first ever bomb run (well the first after I learned to use the bomb sight), I missed the hangar (or what ever my target was) and hit a mission of 110s taking off for an NOE.

"Vulching is a reward."

Who said that?

Seeing as it hasn't been answered in three pages, I will do so.  HiTech said that.

Besides, upping something silly like an A6M2 and managing to kill a few of the vultures is fun.  I just always did it in something other than my regular rides so that I could clearly track my K/D ratio with my "real" ride separately from the "upped at vulched airfields" ride.

Therefore vultching is OK 

[StokesAk]

This is a great idea, but IIRC HiTech said vultching was a reward for getting to that point in the base domination structure.

no sry

I actually back this idea. Apparently many of my fellow players can't understand that letting them get gear up gives them a sense of hope that will cause them to keep upping and dying whereas blowing them away before the engine even starts just makes them quit.

Yes, because base captures are really SO believable when uppers can't be killed while on the ground, eh?

You'd have people gaming it... And it is a gamey excuse of a rule because you don't like being shot down on takeoff.


The solution has already been stated, but I'll repeat it: TAKE OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE!

[BnZs]

You could still kill uppers if base taking was the objective...just wouldn't get a kill for it.

I agree that it's a good idea to let them up because it gives them hope and you can vulch them more. I don't think the game needs to change. Players get rewarded for flying smarter. This is currently true for vulchers and victims. I see no reason to dumb it down.

[LLogann]

Yeah, it's a great idea..... Let's protect the silly people who up from a capped field and than want to moan & groan about it. 

Typical American attitude.... Protect the retarded people!   

[Vinkman]

it's already been said: dont wanna get vulched, dont up where a vulch is in progress.. fly in from somewhere else.

personally, I just grab a field gun or an ostie and discourage them.

But doesn't doing what you say, waste time? Botht he time to fly there, and the time the vulchers have to wait for a new target?

All people are asking the vulchers is...wouldn't it be better for all [including the vulchers] if they were just a little more patient?  Calling someone stupid for upping, is not really understanding that point.
