adding heavy AA and sirens at airfields might eat into the fpsec and result in less players being able to use the server maybe. so you'd have a choice of a more realistic scenario with less players or more people on a relatively bad server that encourages non-real behavior (and even rewards it)

Yeah right...that's the same. At least you got in the air and were flying. Not just sitting on the ground warming up the engines. Did you read the thread?

Ah a thread on the validity of vulching as an online tactic, it looks like COD really is coming into its own, I haven't seen one of these since the UBI forums, ah good times ahead

On topic I've ALWAYS supported the right to vulch if one wants, as has been stated over and over and over, if your being vulched, spawn at another airbase get alt. boom and zoom the crap outa the vulchers at the original airbase, or if the mood strike go to THEIR airfield and give em the good news back, or even just for something a bit crazy go and do the objectives and bomb the crap outa their targets. Heaps of options really.

All the people here who think vulching is the worst thing in online gaming still haven't said WHY they can't just spawn at another base, I'm honestly curious why its so hard for you to do.

LOL! was thinking the same. The developers must be doing something right when we get a good old fashion 20+ thread on vulching. Seems as if people are playing the game again.

Vultures can only vulch if an airfield is unprotected.

If people are unwilling to fly patrols over their own airfieds or at least divert to the airfield when a call goes out on teamspeak or chat then there is the whole team to blame.

Remember that a single strafing run over an airfield is not vulching. To really vulch your need air superiority over the field.

I supose the Devs are right in wanting to let us man AA guns. Hey couldn't we have aFPS system where we can pretend to be in the Pearl Harbour film and climb up into the control tower with Bren Guns!

Cool!

The AA at manston is pretty heavy as it also comes across from ramsgate. Looking for the German targets in that area in a lone Stuka was pretty scary, After a dive all the AA converged and took me down. About 8 different bofors had scored hits. (on ATAG)

here we go again. finally the really important things are beeing discussed

Vulching should only be allowed if there is FLAK at the bases, then it's realism, without it's the fault of the mission builder for being lazy, every base should have a ring of FLAK emplacements around it, and a few scattered along the coastline for good measure. This makes it a gamble to attempt an airfield attack.

Getting vulched is just like any other mistake you can make as a sim pilot.
there will always be vulchers and its your job as a good sim pilot to know where the enemies are likely to be and when you are putting yourself in danger. This is called situational awareness.

Atag is clear on its rules thats that. If you dont like them set up your own server. It sounds like there could br a bit if a following!!!!

For all you off-line players who dont like vulching do you always wait for the ai planes to take off and gain altitude before attacking. I bet not you're straight in there vulching the poor old ai
