Gotta love the new caliber of players in the MA....
Ya fight 262 v 262 for 15 minutes straight....Each pass going back and fourth for position....One jet clearly bugs out, while the other one flies off. The one that bugs out comes in for a landing, and the other jet comes back to vultch.... For the circumstances of jet v jet fighting, thats a pretty pathetic way to ened it.
And the saddest part is, it wasn't a noob. Thanks Herb!

Hmm Cav...
I know how you feel, a good fight ending that way.... but to be honest, If I get vulched i think its no ones fault by my own....
Just my view on it...
-
unfortunately nothing I could do to avoid the vultch. I ran out of fuel on final....The two jets were fighting that long, that my fuel went bye bye. I don't really care that much, it's just more of an annoyance that you have a good fight with someone who people consider to be a good stick, and then they come and vultch you on landing. I just think thats sorta corny....
but hey. It's your world. I'm just living in it =)

I had a guy do something similar not long ago. I had a P-38J, and was in enemy territory, at about 15-18K. I saw a Spit, a 16 I think, climbing to me. I actually let him get co-alt for a while and level for speed. When we merged, I went vertical and tried to take him up. He'd go up a little, then dive way trying to drag me down, probably hoping I'd lock up in a dive. I just went back up. This went on until I ran low of fuel 2 sectors from base. I had started with tanks and even held them, but let them go and ran the 50% internal. When I finally tired of him diving away, especially to a couple of friends, I climbed up and rtb'd. I waited till I got to base to descend, and spiraled down with about 3 -5 minutes of fuel left. As I came out of the spiral and burned enough speed to land, here comes the Spit for the vulch. I throttled up to WEP and tried to turn into him, but I was down to around 75 knots and at idle when I saw him. He went for a from quarter shot (looking for the HO) and I pinged him as he went by, and the AAA finished him. But wait, there's more. His buddies both showed up to try for the vulch, I shot one down, and one augered trying to HO me, so I landed three kills. Sad, but sort of funny, I guess. I had film, but I can't get it until I rescue my old hard drive.

Maybe you should have shot Herbie down. That would have solved it right there.
-
I would criticise, but unless had told me you were outta fuel, i would have vulched your arse too.
I would have figured you just didnt want to lose your jet and was being cowardly, so would risk mine in the ack just to get yours :)
-
ohhh no way furby....I wish I had more fuel, it was a fun fight. Just a pretty gay ending
-

My thoughts too. He probably didn't know you were outta fuel cav. Probably just thought you was runnin and he wasn't gonna let that happen:t
-
I hope he wasnt Talkin bout me

This is one of the things I don't like about the behavior of players in this game. Some people go to suicidal lengths to vultch people trying to land. I find this behavior both strange and unsportsmanlike.
-
i would have vulched either way because i m an ahole :aok but sux that he did it...terrible, shame on u herbie :furious

We know.
;)
-
It is well known that jets and rocket driven aircraft were most vulnerable during take off and landing. So historically... it happened!

On a related note, the only thing better than vulching a guy landing, is getting him on the rearm pad, preferably with a rocket.

I'd love to see a film of that.
-
Or if you pass right above him he might get a you have collided message and die.
-
lol duh i had a "you have collided" message and i died ....before i had even started my engine....vulcher flys off fine.
I had a 10 min fight for with a P38 in my 262 last night...at a couple points i had flaps out...finally got him on final i had a pony try to pick me but ack got him befor he could get me...i landed 2 kills :D

And along those lines...
I hope to the AH gods that one day, through shear luck and impecable timing, I might drop my excess ords from a flight of 20K Lancs, onto 25 plane missunz readying for take-off. The ensuing whinestorm and PMs alluding to spies, double accounts, etc would be of legendary proportions.
Will probably never happen, but a girl can dream, right? :D
-
I remember seeing an ahf film where someone dropped a bomb and it took out a fighter. Was it during the BoB scenario?
-
yah it was in BOB ju88 fropped a bomb on a rearm pad at a field killed something like 10-12 hurris and spits on the pad i was Rofl it was amazing and the whineing that ensued whew!
ps i woulda vulched you to as i am a spinless bastige :)
