Your greatest vulch ever
« on: September 24, 2011, 08:10:58 PM »
My greatest vulch ever had to be my vulch of a Typhoon with the nose turret of a Lancaster.  This was from way back before bombers had formations as an option.  We were trying to do a late night capture and only had two fighters, a Lanc and a C-47 in on it.  Because we were low on fighters I was trying to help keep enemy aircraft down by making passes with my Lancaster and as I approach a Typhoon spawns and starts is roll down the runway.  I overtake him, slowly as Lanc's aren't fast, and blaze away with my two .303s as the autopilot flies me down the runway at about 100ft.  He is trying to get out of my pinging my .303s are giving him and pulls up too hard, stalls it and cartwheels across the field to end his short run in a ball of fire.

We got the field.

Next?

I was actually the one being vulched in my favorite vulch.

 Whenever I think of vulch I go back to the FSO where we were lucky enough to get 262s. After killing just one B-26 near their target, I decided they may try to re-arm and hit us again. I had a couple of bases to choose from that they may try to re-arm. I chose right. Coming in fast and low I caught the B-26s on the re-arm pads. In 2 passes 12 more were dead. My personal best in FSO. Given the tonnage, probably my personal best in any vulch. :)

I remember that, I was one of the B-26s that somehow managed to survive by hiding in the hangar.  You killed my whole squad! :furious


lol  :)

High fighter over enemy hq/strats spoofing a bomber to induce 163s to launch and dodging 10 passes before the near compressibility dive chase to try to get them before they get to a field and land.

4 kills at the rearm pad in one pass, which surprised me since they were all together and I only saw one airplane..  it never cease to amaze me when people want to rearm on a capped field.

I got vulched 2 seconds upon taking off and on landing in a 262 if that counts :D.

The kill on take off was from another 262 that came in from the sun (No, it wasn't a frontline base).
The kill on landing was because I had a dead engine and was too slow to break out of the landing, the 190 came down from 15K up to vulch.  :ahand

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

My greatest vulch was on Firebal's 190D9.  After vulching my 109K4 a couple times I finally was able to get wheels up.  He took one pass then booked it back to his base.  I chased him by myself all the way back when he so much as did not even make an attempt to engage.  I hovered over his base at 7k while he circled in his ack for 5-10 minutes while a friend came in to try to distract me.  Avoided his friend enough to see he was going to land.  I dove for his landing D9 directly at a 70-90 degree angle.  I shot him to smithereens right before I augured through his debris going 500 mph.  It was totally worth it.

I have the film i think.

Was on a bombing run on a rook base.

262 attempted to come up under me, shot his wing off before he got on my dead six.

Was dropping bombs on the enemy base, some of them went over the runway, Killed the same guy who was in the 262, as he was sitting on the runway in another 262.

He.Was.Mad.  :lol

My greatest vulch ever was in Air Warrior.
I was just starting a dive on an Az base in an A26 when suddenly a mission appeared and just started rolling down the runway of about 7 bombers and fighter escort. instead of hitting the base itself like I had planned. The opportinuty was just too ripe.
I laid all my eggs and guns on one pass killing them all in one pass.

My greatest vulch ever...

I've run into missions upping and vulched all of them...

BUT

I would have to say the most SATISFYING vulch was ROCKET VULCHING a set of B29's and 2 sets of B17's... Just the B29's were enough but the 17's were a bonus...

AND for the record - I augured moments later because I was laughing SO HARD that I couldn't see or think!!!! :x :x :x :x
