A real life WW2 pilot's thoughts on vulching

[MaSonZ]

Read Chuck Yeager's autobiography sometime.  He had no guilt about vulching German planes as they took off.  In fact that's how he scores his first German jet kill.

This is a cartoon video game- not real life, no comparison at all.

Ack Ack, I met Earl at the table discussion at Jordi's AW con in Indy 99 or 2000 cant remember with Bud Anderson and a few others, and later read many of his posts on Bigweek, admittedly lurking he he. He is a genuine Good Guy and knows his stuff.  

As for vulcthing, I vultch, look at my "sheet" it isn't about kills for me its about suppressing the base, if it looks like were going to try and take it.  I kill the ack then vultch, the less enemy planes in the air the better period in game as was in real life.

The irritating part is seeing the silk scarf boys waiting for someone else to deack the base and then commence to vultch preserving their precious "sheet".  If it doesn't look like a base capture attempt I hover, lettem get up then go for the good fight.  

Hehe vultch isn't in the spell checker

oh well my 2 cents

Its called Yeager, and you could probably find it at a local library, or at Half-price Books/comparable used bookstore.

If the field is completely "surpressed", the the fight is over and no more targets for anyone, except lone idiots that other idiots are tripping over each other to get while being killed by ack.

However, if you at least let them get their gear up, that encourages them to believe they have a chance and they will keep upping.

LOL!  Was kind of surprised to see a thread I made almost 6 years ago show up in the forums.

Just last night after fighting Anaxogras in his P-39, we started talking about Earl and got to wondering if he is still with us or passed on.  In either case, I am glad that I got to know him and you're right, he was a good guy and really did know his stuff and it didn't hurt that he flew the P-38G ^__^

As to vulching; there's a difference between field supression and gangbanging the lone idiot determined to get airborne. One is essential to field capture, the other a bit wimpy. Of course, there would be no vulching if not for the idiot!

Irl the idiot would be no more, his one chance spent. In this game the idiot aspires to be a even bigger idiot by spawning again and again and again.

Please allow me to suggest a new way to get ranked.

Idiot = guy who up from a capped field and get shot down.
lvl 2 idiot = guy who up two times in a row to get shot down
lvl 3 idiot = guy who up three times in a row to get shot down
lvl 4 idiot = ... / you get the idea yet ?

I figure some people just take a little longer to learn.

I am a level 48 idiot.

Yeah man, eventually I win and then kitteh can haz C47burger.

Someone should ask HiTech about his days in AW driving a T-34 to bases and doing the same thing.

Anvil, the first conference champ in AWI, "There is no honorable way to kill a con. You just do it and move on". I've quoted this person many times. I find this so true. I think Earl said it best though.
