Question:
I'm not sure, but I think I might have been accused by someone of vulching. I wasn't sure I understood so I didn't say anything.
Flying a Spitfire, I was tailing a flight of bombers heading to France. I spotted some fighters going in so I gave chase. Once turned out to be a second Spitfire chasing a 109 that was attacking the bombers. I moved in to provide wingman support in case of any other 109s in getting the drop in.
While chasing the battle, the other Spitfire must have taken some fire because it was giving off smoke (or possibly he nosed down too hard, not sure now). Now the 109 had taken some hits and wasn't doing so well either. During the chase at this point my maneuvers brought my signs into a perfect shot so I squeezed half a second of rounds, thinking it would help. The fight continued a little and the other guy got the kill.
Flying back to England, I was tailing as escort since I had assumed that his Spit was damaged in some way. Somewhere along this journey someone on Red chatted 'nice vulch'. Since I have no way of knowing if it was the pilot in question, I was left wondering if I was the one being accused.
I don't want to do wrong things here. I also would have kicked myself if I'd not taken the shot and the 109 had managed to turn the battle around and shot down the Spitfire (and me potentially). I'm not flying to 'steal kills', but rather to make sure as many virtual RAF pilots come home at the end of the mission.
What's the server admin take on this?
