A quick tip for the Vulchee ... Don't continue to try to UP from a capped or vulched base thus adding to the vulcher's score pad sortie. Try not to make it so easy for them. :bolt:

Nothing new, the game  rewards selfish  and coward behaviors only ;
 All this nonsense sophisticated score, rank, hit%, kills /sortie/hour system encourages this behavior and has nothing to do with WW2 air combat.

And nobody is vulching for respect.  Like mentioned before in this thread,  it is in an attempt to take a base.


I guess if someone kills the hangars,  we could whine about that too.

Hell,  sometimes some people can find anything to complain about.

Maybe yes, maybe no.  I see people landing 10 kills to cries of "WTG Dude!" 

When you're protecting inbound goons, I understand.  Otherwise, I don't.

someones reaction to 10 kills landed doesnt mean much on the vulchers intention.  Most of the time, the "Way to go dudes'" congratulations have no idea how or where those kills were earned.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

You want to cap a base for a capture, let the defenders get off the runway with a bit of speed. Takes more skill to kill someone who can maneuver, and give the defender a chance to avoid the "vulch". But of course we know nothing like that will happen. The kills and names in lights are farrrrrr too important these days.

Hi, my name is Scott and I'm a vulchee..I've been vulched many times mostly by the rooks but  it's always in conjunction with a base take..I'll keep upping over and over trying to get to town cause if I die no biggy it's a game if I make it to town and kill troops yay me..I make it to town every so often even get a few free auger kills...they are well coordinated and especially the night time crew normally gets the base..this is signified by me upping with ack killing me on the runway

2. If there are vulchers over your field, you roll from another field and come in with alt and E to kill the vulchers. It works well!

True, some maps make it very easy to up from another field and get back into the fight over contested field within a few minutes.

Others though, make it close to impossible unless you want to fly 2 sectors, at which time you get there base is already taken, in best case, can vulch the landers and return the favour.

Just try to keep in mind that all vulching is not equal. The field cappers trying to prevent NME aircraft from strafing troops trying to take the town is perfectly acceptable. If your side is trying to take the field you couldn't very well do that giving the NME a clear path to kill your troops because of some chivalry code. That's silly.

Now the single knucklehead that's just taking a pass down the runway with the express intention of vulching just to vulch is another thing entirely. But if that happens to you more than once, who's fault is that really?
