I dont consider bnz to be vulching, not at all. And as I said in my original post, sometimes vulching is absolutely necessary. But I do have issues with someone dropping bombs on me from 2k alt whilst im landing my plane. Is that in any way fair? Its a fuckin game, we ALL play to have fun. Where is the fun in having a safe sortie, trying your hardest to stay alive and hopefully getting a kill, to be bombed on the fuckin runway when you rtb?!
I do understand what you're saying, Glas, believe me. I mean when I get vulched, it pisses me off, too ... at least for a while. But the point (IMHO) is that if you're getting bombed during your landing, then it's happening beause you're landing at a field that just blatantly isn't clear. And I do agree that vulching til the cows come home isn't really the most ... honorable (blah) way of playing but there nevertheless are players who like to do just that, and little as you may like it, it's still not WRONG.
I agree with most of your post, but not completely with this. I don't like them to be co-E, because i know that, if i've flown for 10 minutes to get to their field, i deserve a little advantage, but i never vulch on runway or landing cons. Sometimes, I go to a second row field (not in battle front), get there at about 3,5 km, i see a con taking off, then wait for him to start flying in auto-climb, and then i attack him. That means he always has the chance to dive and avoid my attack, but i love to "vulch" them like that, because it means that their SA is worse than mine, and that makes me feel fine. But vulching cons in runway, and with bombs, is the lamest thing i can imagine....
Collateral damage mean anything to you? I attacked a field with bombs and rockets a few days ago, when a fighter showed up to disturb my bombing run. I dropped my stuff anyway and hit and destroyed the hangar ... and a rolling con.
To be fair RedAnt, if a con is bombing you from 2k alt, the chances of you being able to see him when you are on your landing approach is slim to none. He could have been well out of visual range (and was afaik) when you are beginning to prepare to land. There was no indication I was about to be attacked, until I touched down and there was an explosion right in front of me. Fair enough, if you try to sneak in to your field while its buzzing, your taking a chance.
eh of course killing landing planes is extremely lame, theres no excuse for that unless of course its not the guy who sprayed his ammo on ya 30sec before and now wants a clear landing.. but rollers? its stupidity to let them get enough E to become a threat
no there are no good kills anymore there is no good e management there is vulching and uber-rocket-monster aircraft there are no good shots there are spray hits there are no df skills there are extreme uber-turner-ufos there is no good cooperation there is cowardness when u dont fly and fight one on one or one on ten but its just one dimension of wb most ppl fly to capture fields, coordinate and cooperate a good actions whatever it is - cap, cover, aerial superiority (as a support for a raid) in more complex gameplay there is no place for knights sux? no because its not lost there are still fights where u are outnumbered, in worse position where fight dont end with a kill everytime where u see one guy doing some first class stuff and admire him sometimes even let him go for that but its just part of the game, and the game has much more to offer
why the fuck killing landing cons is extremaly lame? for me, extremaly lame is long orbital 25kft flight and killing climbing cons where pilots just set autotrim and go away wow thats the fucking art, when 90% of your kills are absent or typing ppl while landing, enemy is present, is trying to end his flight you need a lot of skills usual, quick decision, only one chance, only one shoot, and the moment you can do this is very short you getting a lot of risk due to aa defence, and E-loss sure they are easy slow targets, but its their fault to land with con in sight they are lame, not mine, or, they are taking a chance i'm not from the ones who want to win "mercyful pilot" contest I agree vulch and landing kills can be nervous and i dont like ppl who doing this too but to be honest, always when i'm reporting "vulcher at Fxx" that means i'm out of there.. because i dont want to die lika a lame from his hands its tactics guyz, he takes advantage and hunting for easy targets - good killer and good tactician as someone said - game basis is to take advantage and someone else said - never give bastard the chance i agree this two! fh anno 2001 there were same chute kills, vulching, zeketimes, landing kills, the same as 2006, except, in 2006 ppl are smarter and better than those in 2001 , this is only difference
no, lame is to think that 25kft is a safe alt to go afk or dont look around ed: and it never go higher than 2-4%, nobodys that stupid
Pietas's tactics are simple: 1. get in 2. get a kill 3. get the hell out of there as for landing cons- I sometimes do that too (especially if one seeks the safety of own ack after loosing a fight). As for vulching starting cons-> I almost always do that when flying jabo missions... a con killed otr is less troublesome than the one who just took off and is after your Ju/Li... no matter if I use a bomb/rocket (which I usually do if there's some ack left or the roller is an ackstar in B-25/Pe-2/Pe-8 [cross out the wrong one]) or my guns- he took the risk of rolling from a field that I'm trying to close, he should consider more deeply before rolling the next time.
Lame. Search any excuse, but you're as lame (or even worse) than your target is You're talking about vulching cons when a field is under attack, but that's different.
