Ok, to get an objective opinion I will write this from a 3rd person perspective-

Your sitting above a Rook base in your hot air balloon.  Below are about 10 Rook planes:  La7s, typhoons, spits, and hurricanes.  Theres also about 4 valiant Knight attackers.  The Knights dive down from about 8k and start attacking the airbase along with the Rooks.

All of a sudden you see a Knight P-51, piloted by an extremely skilled aviator, zoom down on the base.  He opens fire on a Rook aircraft and it disentegrates.  He then proceeds to strafe not one, but TWO 20mm anti-aircraft guns.  

 Hes now mixed up in a tight furball with a La7, a spit, and a hurricane.  The mustang pilot kills the La7 with whom hes scissoring very tightly.  But as soon as he does, a Rook Hurricane2c comes along and HOs him.  The mustang pilot tries to evade but takes several 20mm shells in the engine.  To his horror, he watches as his prop slows to a complete stop.  Yet hes not finished yet!  A spitfire comes at him from 10:00 high, firing 20mm and 50 cals. The spit misses, and our 51 pilot fires a snapshot, sending the filthy rook to his death.

So now our hero is in a predicament.  Altitude is 200ft AGL, airpseed is 120 and dropping fast.  So he drops full flaps and gear, and decides to set it down.  Just when he thinks hes out of danger, a Focke-Wulf 190D (rarest of the rare planes), being piloted by Adolph Hitler himself, comes along and saddles up on the P-51s six.  The FW pilot can clearly see that the P51 has lowered his flaps, extended his gear, and is dead-stick.  Yet he fires hundreds of 20mm high explosive shells into the P51, blowing off the wings of the mustang and sending its heroic pilot to his death.

So which is it worse to be, a vulcher, or someone who kills heros while they are trying to crash land?

If its a plane its fair game.
  You will never find any honor in a online game so quit trying.

  Better to just grab a new plane forget what just happened and go be a hero again. You will live longer and have more fun playing if you do that.

A target is a target regardless if it's in the air or on the ground.

I did something similiar to JB42.  He was in a bf109 and I scored a direct hit on his engine with a burst of from my .50 cals, which took out his engine.  I saw his engine sputter and finally seize so I broke off his six and pulled up into a spiral climb and watched him try and glide to a deadstick landing.  As he touched down and was rolling to a stop, I came diving in and blew him away with a nice solid burst from my 20mm cannon.  I could have finished him off in the air instead of waiting until he ditched but then it wouldn't have been as much fun.

And just how many vulch kills do you have Dave? Or wait, you let them climb to 10k just to be fair.

You've proved in your post a smokin plane with no engine is still dangerous.  Besides, that smokin 51 was headed straight for my kid!:D

Not only that, but why waste ammo, till you wait to see if he crashes ;)

that hero used an unfair alt advantage to kill innocent rooks. now when the 51 is lower/slower the shoe is on the other foot. As my uncle used to say, "the worm has turned". When someone tries to land and ditch a damaged ride you must be quick to shoot him up lest he get away with only a ditch.

to answer the question, neither is worse. knit attacked fair and square; knit received a justly deserved counterattack. Plus no mention of the 3 other knits. The rooks defended as anyone else would have.

So what yer saying is......come in shooting to kill everything in sight. When ya run outa ammo and are about to be gang banged...yell "I surrender!" and expect to live?

Good Chuck Yeager once said, "I never saw a chute,  I didn't shoot" cause I don't wanna have to face that bastage again.

Ask no quarter. Give no quarter. Expect no quarter. Take it like a man, unless yer a woman :)

This post was partially in jest.  I just wanted to show how good of a pilot I was (getting kills with no engine and all).  But Rooks are gang-bangers and when my aircraft is functioning correctly I usually send them spiraling to their deaths.

Another Rook story-  I was in a P47D-30 sunday returning to my base with 5 kills.  A rook P51 and P47 jump me.  I dive to the deck to try to escape them.  Motha-suckas start firing at D1000 and pinging me.  I turn into them, shoot down the P47 and type "stupid idiot rook" on channel 1.  Meanwhile, the rook P51 HOs me and shoots off my aileron.  But he disengages (from pure fear I imagine) and I make a safe trip home.

your not a hero if you survive...if you survive a valient last stand some idiot who calls himself a historian will warp history and call you a coward because you landed when you still had a slight chance of fighting back...oh and if you had ditched he'll come up with some **** about the guy who woulda killed you not getting the kill because you finished yourself off...

We've already learned.

1.  No time outs in War

2.  You want Chivalry, Find a WW-I SIMM

3.  You should not have attacked Rooks.  Attack Bish's

4.  You're so worried,  You should have evaded the Spit and landed quickly not taken a snap shot!

I will shoot till you're "Goo on the WindScreen".

However, excellent choice of rides lad :D

Did Yeager really do that? If so he's an honorless bastidge and a war criminal.
