if you're sitting in a wirble 5k yds from the nearest dogfight, do not say this to someone fighting air to air.
it is so common, it's becoming annoying.
if he asks for help, then maybe.
I might think of it opposite from most people, as I despise vulching, and think bringing enemy to bases is wrong. Because as a field-gun-tard, I try to repel enemy from bases. go to the towns!

Awww come on, field gun dudes and wirble drivers wanna have fun too.

get your other three mouth-breathing comrades to stop trying to pick him and I will stop offering to put a 37mm up your keister

uhm, not at all
Yesterday 3 Ponies jumped my Dora. Soon enough, all 3 decided to run - straight to their flaker. I was alone on the deck, they came in about at 7-8K.
Since i couldnt see the flak til i was 800 out, had no real chance to survive.

No problem from me.
If you don't mind letting the enemy drag you away from the base so they can pick and gang you and lure you into THEIR fight I have no qualms watching them blow your head off and make you explode.

The magical ability to see friendly flak panzers at ten times the range that your opponent can see the same flak panzers has made this a very common tactic due to its success rate.
People say "Just don't follow them, you know they are leading you to a Wirblewind." The problem with that is it makes any short, straight run at low altitude a successful tactic to clear one's six.
Friendly GV icons need to follow the same rules as enemy GV icons.

My personal general rule is to dogfight. If I am dogfighting and get shot by a ground vehicle... I will return in my fighter with bombs and take out a couple of vehicles then dogfight.
If folks in the vehicles start calling out bomb**** I can only laugh as they or their cohorts brought it on themselves.
-
It's part of the game.
I don't like to be shot up by a wirb when I'm chasing a guy down, but I can't really blame the guy... I'm on his 6! He's still a sissy though. :D
Personally, I just use common sense when the game puts me on the wrong end of an engagement. If my plane is in fighting shape and the con(s) doesn't have a completely overwhelming advantage, I fight. If that's not the case, hovering near a wirb and/or getting out of Dodge is in my future.
-
The wirbys always miss anyhow

:huh :huh :huh :huh My wirby hits ! :neener: :neener: :neener: :neener:

yup, that being said the WIRBLEGAWD must be fed.
-
simple rule.....ponies either run to other fighters, wirbs or home. Just saying. I only offer help in a wirb when its an unfair fight and its looking bad for the 1 fighter defending against ponies. I hate little girls and their ponies :devil

The WirbelGawd does not beg for kills, they just come to me. :aok

Sometimes when I'm not looking my wife reads from my computer. She knows from past experience if it's this forum that she will goofh and apply real world logic to a very emotional boys game. Kind of like those unspoken 8th grade locker room rules of insult engagement your mother could never fathom. But, my wife just had to ask after reading this one while I was busy with the porcelain pedistal. Note to self: leave up the Wall Street Journal site next time.
Wife: Honey why do so many players in your game complain that other players don't play the game correctly?
Me: Best I can tell after 10 years, they resent anything that interrupts their fun while they are getting a little.
Wife: I know you have told me over the years that there are no rules to your game. Don't they know that?
Me: Honey I'm not sure if this game ever was about rules so much as Hitech hit on the secret to male happiness.
Wife: Oh!!! And what would that be SIR...................
Me: Babes is it your birthday or our anniversary or something like that..........
Wife: We will get back to that right after you explain the secret to male happiness!!!
Me: Ok....We are our happiest whizzing down another males back and getting away with it. That's the secret of this game and why there are no rules.
Wife: That's horrible. Is this how you treat me?????
Me: No Honey it's a guy thing. If you watch House Wives of New Jersey, you ladies do the same thing but, in a different arena.
Wife: How can you compair me to them??
Me: I'm going to assume you mean the Jersey girls and not my flying game?
Wife: I don't know if I like where this is going.
Me: Sweetie, you are a saint, and guys are their absurd happiest whizzing on each other, or complaing about being whizzed on.
Wife: Ok, I feel better. But, thats just insane abusing each other like that and paying to be part of it.
Me: Don't worry Honey. We are paying for the knowlege that we can get revenge in the game that most of us only dream about in real life, while being whizzed on by circumstances and having to smile and call it rain.
Wife: It still reads like a bunch of immature Jr. High boys whining at each other. And I used to teach 8th grade Jr. High.
Me: Sweetie the only difference between Jr. High girls and the Jersey girls, is the number of wrinkles, silicon bags, botox and suger daddy money. Whining and revenge is the greatest sport on earth. You don't have to be special or a saint to play the game.
Wife: You are horrible.
Me: Yes but, I love you..................

Nope, say it, so your buddy knows you are in a wirble to engage.

nothing is funner in the game than to make it look like you made a mistake and drag a con over a set of werbies and see it go up in flames. then after you stop laughing tell the guys, "hold on I'll be back with more", then keep doing it over and over while your friends in the werbies and yourself laugh your butts off. game is about fun and it's cool to mix and match your game :rock.

The tactic only works because of the grossly uneven information provided to the two pilots.

i did that back in the day when the gv's could be seen from 6k away. it works because pilots get so focus on trying to kill the airplane in front that they forget to look around for other threats.
I believe in one rule, if the other guy is flying straight then it's time to look around.

In some cases it would work, in others it does not.
"Drag him over the base." works. "Drag him over to me. I'm by the cluster of trees." doesn't work so well.

If you cant easily give verbal directions to a fighter to put him damn close to your wirble you probably have a hard time giving people directions to your house.

Not really. The game is generally bereft of notable landmarks.
