Vulch fests

[JUGgler]

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. 

Thank you vink! 
If the cap turns into a "silly vulch" I will just move on to the next horde, but if there was reason to think I could get 'wheels-up" I would continue to up therebye improving the fun for all!

I am here only to help everyones scores, I would just like a "reach-a-round     









I am astonished at how many peeps defend the "wheels down" vulch!

I think its fine the way it is.

Why deprive the Vulchers of the "combat" they so crave.

[JUGgler]

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

Now here is a man capable of critical thought!


Yes you could still vulch up a storm, the only difference is you would NOT get credit for the kill. I don't see much wrong with this idea. It is still easy enough to scoop up those willing to launch 50' from the end of the runway, Honestly how many ACES do folks need to have in one hand?

You don't need aces when your opposition is willing to go all in on deuce seven off suit repeatedly.

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!   

Actually, it's more like, "Protect the normal, functioning people from doing retarded things"

And some obviously are, up untill it is impossible then they take their money elsewhere!

The "cherry horde " is at a particular base wouldn't it be nice if they could take more of my money rather than have me move on?

In so many strange ways.....  That makes good sense.

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. 

You lucky bastage!  I keep hoping and praying to find a mission upping on the runway. 

I did try to vulch a 1/2 dozen 51Ds upping together once.  My uber TBM swooped down and pinged one enough to auger shortly after takeoff.  Had I arrived just a few seconds earlier, there would have been a rocket vulch of epic proportions.

just separate the score air kills vs ground kills then by statistics you can tell the skilled guy from the vulcher

IE:
Fighter:
325 Air Kills
678 Ground Kills

tell me why are people complaining about this? i dont think the germans wahhed when their pilots were shot down while taking off during WW2 same for the russians. you know what they did, they took off and tried again. dont complain when someone is doing exactly what all pilots do in war.

How did they manage that if they were dead?  Zombies?

simple get a another pilot. i mean its not a big deal to get vulched for me im not gonna say ok you can take off and have a chance to shoot me down when i can just shoot you down when you try to take off.

So why do you vulch at all?  If it's no big deal on the recieving end, what's the enjoyment on the shooting end? 

Your fear is that once up the pilot taking off is better then you?  That's all I can figure from the last part of your comment.

[fullmetalbullet]

i said i dont want to take a chance of being shot down i never said the other pilot would be better then me. and yes i do sometime get frustrated by it but i just go up again, the point of vulching in a base capture scenario is that we are trying to cap the base not be stopped.

[VonMessa]

Honestly?

I will do it just to sap the will to fight from the other guy during  a base capture.

Sometimes it doesn't work out that way...
