Title: Vulch Defense
Post by: 100Coogn on July 06, 2011, 10:14:58 PM
 If the base you were upping from is under heavy attack, what would you use to defend it?  Not saying you wouldn't up from a different
base, but I am curious as to what people might choose, if there was no other choice.  For me It'd be the Hurri II-C with 50% fuel...

I'd up several ponies from a nearby base and drop their fighter hangers, strip their field ack, and vulch 'em on rtb.

Post by: LLogann on July 07, 2011, 07:32:09 AM
That is one of my acceptable three...  :aok  Or the Spit16, or the LA7, depending on how much altitude over the base they have and if the goon is close.

If the base you were upping from is under heavy attack, what would you use to defend it?  Not saying you wouldn't up from a different
base, but I am curious as to what people might choose, if there was no other choice.  For me It'd be the Hurri II-C with 50% fuel...

If it's a full cap I might take a 190A8 or a 110 and ho a few of them.   :D

Keep uping 110s.  Some vulchers will HO you and die, some will keep killing you.  At the end, they are either dead or out of ammo.  They lose focus and they keep raking up kills intead of protecting goons or taking down guns.  Once it gets lighter because they died or they are out of ammo, up a LALA and either look for goons or hunt the surviving vulchers down. For bets results kill them while they are landing and then enjoy 200.

 Pork the ords at all close bases then they can't kill the hangars. No one take time to pork the enemy assets. Yes they can resupply but if they are driving M-3 with supplies they ain't killing you.

Just because nobody's mentioned it, C205 with 25%.  Good guns, climbs well, fast enough, generates perks well.

The enemy wants you to take up a plane because you are at the extreme disadvantage.  The last thing they want to see is no airplanes and a sea of wirbels.

or a Brewster. Hitting power is a little light, but that makes it fun. Fly it straight for more than a half a second during a furball vulchfest, though, you'll be toast.

HOrricane C.  With so many horders desperate and fighting one another for the scraps, many will actually take the HO gambit despite having every advantage.
Title: Re: Vulch Defense
Post by: EagleDNY on July 07, 2011, 12:35:19 PM
Brewster is a good one - up it from the hanger and you have a fair chance of getting airborne and being able to make a tight turn to throw off the vulcher that is already on his way down for you.

Failing that, try some B-17s with 25% and a light bombload.  Kick on a notch of flaps and see if you can get off the ground and into the tail or top turret before they get you.  Either they burn up a lot of ammo taking you down, or you get up and can return fire.

What!?  not upping in the 262 or special-K?

I wonder if you'd set some kind of record for number of enemy augers in the least amount of time upping a jet at a base that's in the middle of a full on vulch fest...

The K model is another of my favorite anti-vulch rides.  I prefer speed and climb rate to twistiness, myself.

at the Field in a Wirble, I'll up from the next friendly Field in my P47D11 and farm a load of perks from the vulchers, the D11 lays waste to them in no time.
Title: Re: Vulch Defense
Post by: Wiley on July 07, 2011, 03:50:53 PM
Not upping is the smart solution...  The OP specifically said he realizes that...  BUT, if you're going to do it anyway, what's the thing to up?

As an aside, IMO one of the fastest ways for the average dweeb to farm perks if you don't care about your ranking or fun is to find a field with the enemy getting their vulch on and up a high ENY plane repeatedly getting a kill or two or three as you go.  With a large enough horde flying low ENY stuff on a good gunnery day the perks just roll in.

For taking off underneath them, the La-7 is in my opinion the home field advantage. La-7 with 100% and run the WEP the whole time, when the WEP runs out it's time to look at your fuel gauge and start thinking about RTB. P-40's are a blast though if you feel like turning off easymode.

When your being vulched, maneuverability is much more important than speed imo.

Yes, but acceleration may be the most critical which the La-7 certainly has, top speed isn't as important as the ability to get to maneuvering speed quickly and rebuild lost E.

NJUG untill the silliness reaches the next level of tardation then a D11. If they are really goin for the grope without trying to excite me then I'll go to the 110, as the heavy breathing starts and beads of sweat appear I will go to the K4, this is where the 1st level of "unforgiveness" takes place. As the stain in their pants begins to appear it is obvious they are only concerned with their satisfaction then I will go to the LA7, this is "unforgiveness" level 2. When I see they are frantically trying to unzip cause their "uncontrolled" excitement has got the best of them and they are desperate to not make a mess in their panties I finally realize they are nothing more then "inexperienced, uncontrolled teen zitpoppers" I will bring forth the "british walker" twitfire16, this is the final stage of unforgiveness and disdain :aok


Oh and also most of the names in this thread I've been vulched by  :neener:    :bolt:


I also agree with GHI, F3 should have stayed till a better way to defend was presented. The change only encouraged and rewarded the "uncontrolled teen zitpoppers"




Other than that it's all good   :joystick:

If VH is down and I must up from the vulched base, A6M2, 25% fuel. It gets airborne fast and can maneuver at low speeds.  A6M3 may have supplanted it though.

Preferably I'd lift a Ki-84, Spitfire Mk VIII or Mosquito Mk VI from a nearby field and pay the vultchers a call from on high.

If a carrier is close buy launching planes, then I up a Typhoon. Plenty of time to get speed up, and you can tear the carrier planes apart with ease. Been doing it this month in a Typhoon, And have been very successful in it.
