I never kill planes with their wheels on the runway. It's a waste of potential fun not only for the other guy, but for myself as well.

Vulching is normaly a mean of shuting down a field in order to prevent the enemy from upping and defend the base. Its a dirty job but someone needs to do it. The other way is to bomb the hangars but deack and vulching requiers less planing amd coordination.

It is more normal these days to hear on the VOX, the dirtiest words in the game, "The vulch light is on."

There are a couple of squadrons who specialize in just deacking and vulching  for score with zero intent on capturing the field.

Agreed.  Vulching is pretty lame.

If you up into the vulch, expect to be vulched.  It is lame, as are many things people do in the game.  If you can get up there's fun to be had, but you're going to eat some deaths while you're doing it.

That's why there are manned ack at the base you were at.  Pull the trigger.  This game has the tools available to stop all sorts of play style you don't like.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

when the vulch light is on, I used to up bombers, they were tougher to kill and you could always ram the bad guys with them. but that's just me.

As a serial vulchee I take offense at being called stooopid for not lifting from another base. If I cared that I die ten times to every one getting in the air than that would be a problem. If there is anything in the complaint department from me it would be disappointment in vulchers vulching when A.) they aren't trying to take a field B.) low population C.) 4 fighters to one. The late night game is kind of kookie as it is. It casts into sharper relief the differing ambitions of players so you get stooopid matchups of knuckleheads who just want to fight, (would be happier if everyone had 2 .20 cals,) and people who want the illusion of accomplishing something, especially the camaraderie of takening a base with some other fellows.

 Trying to up from a hot airfield is not a good idea, but if you do decide to try it at least get 3 others to up at the same time, that way I can shoot one rocket and kill all three..... Rocket vulch's are awesome...

I wonder how many new players quit over the years, because of getting repeatedly vulched for having the nerve to fight.

There is often only one or two bases flashing at a front these days.   Fights have been becoming harder to come by.   Isn't an earned kill much more satisfying?   Or are they too hard to get?

If they fail to take the suggested route through the TA it is no fault of others. Many times the only fights are defending a base. Learn to do it right and you increase your chances of getting airborne. Then all you have to do is get a few to start the grind and help your friends get airborne. I have enjoyed doing this for years. Take off from a vulched base with the right people and time it right. Then thin the vulching forces enough to get the others after you and then your friendlies can start upping. Turn the tide so to speak.
