Ha! Whatever dude.
There are rules to combat, and things that you just don't do. If one of my soldiers had shot a captured enemy combatant, he would have earned a prison sentence. Now it happens, sure, but that doesn't mean its right or endorsed. And when it does happen its punished severely unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances. Same thing then. It happened, but was not wide spread, and those that did it without a dang good reason were ostricised and punished. Galland himself said he regarded it as murder. You implying that because it happened on extremely rare occasions that it should just be accepted and condoned, which is utter BS. It was bad conduct then, its bad conduct now. But of course armchair warriors think that anything and everything goes.

I could make the argument that war in general is not right, and warmongering nations are ostracised and condemned. Should we therefore cease all simulation of war? I think not. We do this for fun, and lots of people take it way too seriously. Have a good evening. Last edited by CaptainDoggles; 08-26-2011 at 06:53 AM.

Didn't mean it as a jab towards you, sorry if it was taken as such.
And call it what you want, but adherence to what actually did and does happen in the highest goal, yes? Then you don't shoot non combatants, unless I suppose your playing an SS simulator. I simply get annoyed by the vast majority of people who have never been insisting on the way things are/were (remember the tracers thread where his model was an airsoft rifle? lol!) And ya, experience absolutely matters. Would the opinion of a guy that has never even looked under the hood of a car matter when your planning your Trick-flow headed blown 408 LS2 monster motor? Not really. I wish that those who have been in such situations (I know there are at least a few here) would speak up when discussing these issues. They are really the only ones that can speak with much authority on these issues. But hey, its the internet.

You know why straffing bases was canceled though? It was canceled for the bomber pilots. People were hanging around bases waiting for the heavy bombers to come back then jump them. Who wants to spend half and hour going there and back just to be clobbered over your own base. I see their point. No one was using the big bombers to do the missions. If everyone wanted to do this perfectly there would be escorts for every mission perfect fighter intercept coordination the best Teamspeak coms of any server but it ain't going to happen, we all have a lot of fun in there so that's all that matters really.

Chute shooting is just plain poor form, though I have never seen it happen often enough to be an issue. Shooting up airfields should definately be allowed in the historical type servers, but in saying that the fields need good AA coverage, make em work for it! Also there is nothing more fun than spawning at the next base along and jumping on the vulcher while he is preoccupied, easy pickings, they are usually low and slow and moreoften than not end up spinning in as soon as you jump them, great laugh! Not a great fan of the guys that pick you off as you try to land your smoking barely flying wreck though, but as they say what goes around comes around! Vulcher hunting is a great motivator to get people on comms too, get some team work happening.

IMA if this is truly a simulator then anything goes. Chute shooting was reported on both sides of the channel, though more often by the Germans. The tactical reasons for this was that when a German pilot bailed out he was captured and out of the war. When a RAF pilot bailed he could be back in the air within a couple of hours. The Luftwaffe actually complained that rescue sea planes with red crosses clearly painted were shot down by the British. The British excuse was they were reconnaissance aircraft.
 No doubt most of us don't vulch, chute kill or attack AC's that have just taken off. For those that do, all's fair in love and war. Personally I like killing vulchers so bring it on.

All of that said it doesn't really matter because it hardly ever happens anymore. The last time it happened to me in Spits VS 109s was last April. I was in a G2 he was in a Spitfire Mk. IX We were skimming over the Mediterranean met head on and started going round in a circle. I started to out turn him he couldn't hold on and he stalled into the sea. He wasn't to accomplished in that Spitfire Mk. IX. He repawned. Coming home a P-38 buzzed me and I had to bail. As I hanged their Mr. unaccomplished comes along and blasts me in my chute. I think he knew who he was shooting at. Last edited by Richie; 08-26-2011 at 11:19 AM.

Another thing about Spits VS 109s. I'm sure they would have "Friday Night Bomber Nights"
in COD also. Last edited by Richie; 08-28-2011 at 07:30 AM.
