Thanks for vulching me on the rearm pad.
« on: March 12, 2011, 10:17:57 AM »
 Thanks to the guy who vulched me on the rearm pad. All this time the Swampdragons thought vulching was
taboo in FSO but apparently it is not according to posts. So just a little thank you for all the extra kills we are gonna get from here on out. :joystick:

Sorry for the frustration.

Vulching is quite allowed in FSO. Best way to avoid it is to:
1. Rearm at a rear field.
2. Never rearm at a flashing field.
3. Have a CAP overhead when you rearm.

What makes you think that it was not allowed?

I cant even remember when it came up. Sometime way back and may have been a no vulch frame or something
that we thought was policy. I really am fine with it and am glad it happened since my one death will yeild us many additional kills in the future. It is more real world that way anyway. i also agree that the pilot using .45 should
be illegal since it isn't likely.

I wounder if you are thinking about ppl using .45 at air fields, as far as vulching?  About two years ago, i am the one the caused the problem when i assassinate the axis CiC on the rearmed pad.  I was not aware that we cannot do that......I think it was because the rule was really never posted on the FSO rules.

That could have been it. After 100 missions or so they start to blend together. :old: We have all seen plenty
of footage of 51's and 47's wasting planes on the ground if they get the chance. Keeping it real world is what
makes FSO so cool. :rock

I don't know but this I do know. If I were the 68th Lightning Lancers, I'd be pissed.  We killed a lot of you guys last night on your final bomb run while your escort appeared to wait until we were low or out of ammo then they engaged us after you were virtually wiped out.

That's fair enough...but is being in your chute just outside of base ack range spotting the rearm pad for your vulching teamates OK also?  A65 had two axis guys in chutes doing just that.  I have film as I'm sure several others do too.  This is waaay too much like MA stuff....

BTW-apparently there's a bug in the terrain because the chutes couldn't be killed.

This is definitely against the rules. All pilots are supposed to end flight immediately after being shot down.

Seems pretty clear cut:

- Pilots are expected to do their "fighting" from the AC or GV's that they have been assigned to by their CiC. Once you have been shot down, you should be heading to your tower. Shooting of Enemy AC with your .45 while they are on the ground is not allowed. You may be suspended for doing so.

I imagine that should cover spotting for your squaddies as well

I managed to kill one, just took a 37mm HE round to do so, which means he was in a pretty deep foxhole at the end of that runway. :)
