Simple Moral & Ethical Question

[evenhaim]

Depends on mood, circumstances and what I think who is in that plane

BTW, I find the connection between thread's title "moral & ethics" and it's actually question "vulching" way disproportionate.

would you voolch me? 

[zoozoo]

if the pilot ran from a good 1v1 then yes, if not then no 

[Lusche]

would you voolch me? 

That's a difficult question... you are, more or less, a nice guy (in a way)...but then, you are a Muppet too...

A crippled plane, wheels down gets a free pass.

[FiLtH]

             You can tell if a guy is landing, unless its a huge mass of planes. As long as I can tell the difference between a lifter and a lander  I dont kill the lander.  The way I look at it, he's probably outta gas/ammo and slow so what challenge is it there.

[gpwurzel]

having been killed either ditching or engine out a few times recently, all I can say is....do I have rockets and bombs?????


Errr, seriously....probably not......

Definitely. If I can HO all the better.

Landing?

No.

Unless it was another P-51 I had to chase for a sector or two.

[Gixer]

Generally no, but not a scenario I come across as I never damage anyone. 


<S>...-Gixer

[Anaxogoras]

Yes, to finish the job if I were the one who caused that damage or if he killed a squad mate.
No, in all other cases.

[bongaroo]

Depends.  Since I usually don't actively participate in the vulches probably not.  If it's some n00b I just saw HO a squaddy to end up the way he is than yes; I have revenge issues sometimes  

[Goat1]

I've battled my wounded plane and myself to a successful landing or ditch, just to have someone
kill me. So yes, I would blast away at him

Well I've heard replies stating that it depends on who it is and if they ran and such.  I gotta ask this question... Just how do you frigging know who it was or if it was the same plane that ran from a fight?  You can't interject these variables into a question of if you would vultch a landing plane.  Seems like folks are reaching to justify the practice, and it's a clear question of if you do or if you don't.    I've been nailed landing so many times that I don't even have to think about the answer, I'd kill him dead if I got the chance. hehehhee


All the Best...

Vulch,  

[humble]

It's an event taken out of context....

99.9% of the time no, even now I'll let a cripple go most of the time...

But theres an exception to every rule, easily 100 or so guys I'd gleefully vulch
