DO you mean Red's dont like the bomber they have and want more variety? Otherwise the numbers available are the same are they not?

Is it safe to assume *most* (not all, don't wanna go generalizing anything because people start crying) pro-vultures are primarily blue pilots?

I'm noticing that trend.

I would tend to agree with you on that point, but remember, reds tend defend and don't venture over.

I welcome reds vulchering the blue bases anytime, saves me the trip...

Funny how the biggest vulcher is a red pilot

What is a "biggest vulcher" and who has earned this seemingly prestigious title?

That is true! I think, in all my time flying in this game, I have only seen 4 red pilots on the axis side of the channel (Incidentally, they vulched me. LOL).... most of the time it is us blue pilots who do all the travelling and the red pilots just circle around the same old airfields... and that is the story on every server that uses the channel map I have flown on.

Why is that anyway? Come on over to occupied France, Allies! The ground textures and shading are much nicer over here! None of that radioactive green!

Plus.. you haven't seen 'Noddy Towns' till you've seen some on the continent...... and, if you have ever been to mainland Europe in real life..... you know they are pretty realistic.

This thread is FREAKING HILARIOUS!

People whining about "honor" and "chivalry" as if this is a medieval jousting tournament, and wanting a magic safe zone over top of air bases.

Do you guys also complain when someone comes in from above you? Because it's not fair? Should all dogfights start with both pilots at the exact same speed and altitude, and a head-on pass so both pilots have a chance to see each other?

There's a server for 1946 that has easy-mode rules like a magical safe zone around the bases. It's called Spits vs 109s, and they will kick/ban you if you fly over top of a base (even if you're at 9000m). They're a joke outside their insular little community, because most folks realize that their rules promote careless play and an attitude of entitlement.

There was no magical force-field in real life. There was no deflector shield on the runway at Folkestone. Why do you want one? This isn't Tag, or Go To Rome like we used to play on the playground. There is no "home free" in air combat; why do you want one?

Chivalry and honor in air combat died well before the end of the first world war, and anyone who isn't wilfully deceiving themselves knows it.

If you're not zooming in from above on an unsuspecting target, then quite frankly you're doing it wrong.

Ok, let´s have a look available to the Blues:

Fighterbomber 109E3/B, 109E4/B, which after release is a fighter and you can engage in a dogfight. so if you want to do a lil bit of blasting and fighting at the same time, it is one of your choices.

Divebomber JU-87, while not as powerful in a climb as the 109, after release it´s quite agile and if you know how to handle it, it can engage in a dogfight, esp. with current fm.

Destroyer 110C-4, 110C-7, oh what a beautiful runway, let´s make it more beautiful by dropping 2 500kg eggs. Oh what, you didn´t like my eggs, have a lil taste of my cannons then, maybe that´s more to your liking.

Levelbomber HE-111, JU-88, that factory has to go!

There is a bomber for each and every type of player out there on the blue side, whereas the reds are just stuck with their blenheim. And yes there are of course passionate blenny pilots, but nothing for players, who would like to fly something like a stuka, destroyer, fighterbomber.

S!

Here is me getting "vulched" as I come in for a landing... I was minding my own business, I was delivering some tea and crumpets to so lovely British ladies, and to add insult to injury someone tried to drop some bombs on my head... it was all quite rude...
