I'm not new, and they failed to vulch me... and that wasn't as much the point of my post as to state that the premise of the OP is a little off-base.  While Dobs is a great stick and fun to fly with, I felt that in the current setting and with numbers being as they were, he and the others involved could have engaged in a little sportsmanship...  possibly a little foreplay before trying to dive elbow deep inside of me.  As such, rather than get frustrated and be killed over and over again, I moved to an arena with other opportunities for combat, or at least more targets on the ground taking off to hopefully avoid the vulch.

...but well said.

 BTW...
There are plenty of time wasters on the internet, other games and RL for newbs tired of learning curve...so keep killing them quick as you can....and this game will die with them leaving.
But don't worry..you'll be hero of empty game.                     JGroth

Wilbur, I am of the belief that you believe I made this post about you. I'd liketo clear this up and say, sadly the event in the OP happened long after you allowed delusion to take control over how many were "vulching" you and left. I think it would be to your benefit to watch my posted stream of you taking your ball.

So the only thing your stream failed to catch was the other two guys coming in from your field.  And I apologize, you didn't try and vulch me, you were merely deacking the field, however that first pass from within my cockpit looked suspiciously like you diving on me, especially considering you didn't start doing that until I was upping.

So, I'll concede the point that 6 people hadn't technically arrived, 4 were there, and 3 were actively attempting to kill be before I was 50 feet off the ground.  There was even the disappointed "damn he landed" one of the people you were flying with.  Regardless, if that's the type of gameplay you're going for in a low numbers arena, I'll go to another fight and you guys can continue to deack an empty base and hope someone ups for a free kill.

What is the purpose of de-acking an airfield though, if not to vulch?

De-acking a town or V-base is necessary to take it, but there is only one reason to de-ack an airfield.

or maybe it is practice in picking out and shooting down an ack gun. It's beta and different rules should apply.

You will be given excuses a plenty.  But at the end of day, the gameplay will suffer because enabling has been the name of the game since 2007.

I was in beta earlier, I was having problems with low fps low on the ground, so i dove on a 109 that had just taken off after posting on 200 that I wanst gonna shoot.  I went in front of him and pulled up and bamn was in the tower.  I asked who shot me down and what was he in.  apparently there was a ki84 behind me that I didnt know about.

I got a pm asking me if I was testing or fighting, I replied both.  I found out then why i didnt hear the plane behind me.  beta is for testing and learning.  lots of players are gonna be surprised and complain about the flight model unless they fly a couple of hours in beta.  flight model hasnt changed, but sounds and visual cues have changed.  that's gonna surprised a majority of players.
