Why would you take off at a field that's getting vultched?

How about any plane destroyed on pavement does NOT register as a kill, NO score fore it, NO name in lights for it and NO death, NOTHING but "wasted" ammo?

Hmm I guess I did say the dude on the pavement would be safe in so many words!  :D

Well I would think most would prefer it to the silly vulching that goes on now.


IMHO

they got credit durin WW2 why not here, doesn't matter where ya die its just a game. quit  :cry ok later :bolt:

Do clarify that will you.  Who got credit?   The only crowd that got credit for ground kills was the 8th, and that was only as motivation to keep them diving into the ack.  A lot of guys, and all but one of the USAAF Aces that were shot down, went down to ack attacking airfields.

9th, 15th, 5th, RAF, etc did not give credit for ground kills.

Of course those guys were really dying too and they didn't get a big attaboy and a message across the radio saying they'd landed 14 vulches.

Personally I hate the long flight, also I'm very giving and am all about improving scores  :aok. I just would like to get airborne before getting "the coat hangar"  ;)

I also know for a fact that other 'like minded" peeps such as  myself would up more often and have more fun if this change could be made. Thereby improving the experience and FUN of those peeps who frequent these situations on both sides  :aok

Then why do I laugh so much?
 
There are few so readily willing to fight at "TOTAL DISADVANTAGE" "most of the time" such as myself :aok

Guys who vulch (looking for combat?) are probably the same guys who cry about other guys taking "undefended" bases.

Ironic.

Now I'm NOT talking about guys who are suppressing uppers at a base they are trying to take.

I'm talking about the "aces" that come in and do it and leave, with no other purpose than padding their score.

Whether or not HT says its "cool" I think its a sissy move.

Hand in hand.

Lemmings that continually up from a capped base that is obviously not being taken (i.e. town not damaged) have nothing to cry about.

Piss on the electric fence once, and possibly, one can blame it on the farmer for not giving a warning.  Do it again right away, and whose fault is it now?

Agreed.

But is STILL a sissy way to play.

The Lemmings comment is priceless. :rofl

I understand that you can hate long flights, but as far as I understand taking off a base that's getting vutched (even if they let you get off the ground) will not improve your score. You will be snow, low, & outnumbered. Just take off a nearby base, take the 5min to fly to the battle and come in with an advantage, then land kills.
