Every time I vulch Hawking AFB killing enemy planes on the ground, taking off or prior to their take off.

I don't have the numbers but I estimate that 20% + of my kills are the direct result of vulching... It is always a blast to see all that Flak/AAA firing among with some dogfights around. Usually take off with a bomb (unless I'm using the E1), after destroying ships or ground units I'll go there to empty my guns BnZing, then I'll run home towards the French coast like a girlie dragging Spits and Hurries to be gangbanged by the rest of the LW heading England... Sometimes I'm the one that is gangbanged.

Regards.

PS: Today was looking for trains for about 30 minutes, then a single Hurri jumped me, I then dove to run (as usual) and as soon I reached ground level I couldn't believe what I've had in front of me... The damn train locomotive expelling tons of withe smoke, used a little rudder and Boom!!! I could see the flames surrounding my airplane as it passed by... I was lucky not being caught in the blast.

Yeah that's lovely hobby dude, I very much enjoy hunting clumsy 109s vulching Hawkinge, I estimate that 40% + of my kills are lousy pilots like you climbing right in front of my guns because strafing and flying straight is the only thing they can do in a 109 No offence dude

...waiting for the patch(es).

And almost every time I go online. There simply isn't a sim out there that can match this in the way it simulated the atmosphere of being there. Online FTW, getting better and better by every new patch.

Ok thanks, good to know

One of my most exciting moments was rising in a Spit Ia to escort a flight of british bombers coming back from France and finding a 109 systematically taking them out with his cannons.

I took my time to climb and get into a nice hidden position and then took off his elevators while he was lining up his next kill.


Other exciting moment was forming up and flying with many other squadron mates during the Sunday campaign recently run. It's thrilling stuff just to know you're all player flown planes in formation.

The mutisquad campaign was a great moment too, I remember especially when we attacked a Stuka formation on the second mission, and the line of Hurricanes taxiing for takeoff, I really felt I was there in the BoB

Shame I couldn't participate in the last two missions...

I ment it honestly mate - I have nothing against vulching as it's not restricted anywhere on ATAG. I only say - and that's my opinion only - that getting kills this way and even considering that kind of stuff as 'your most exciting CLOD moment' is ridiculous and not a thing I would mention on a forum without feeling some shame. That's something you really should think about

Matter of opinion I suppose - I didn't mean to argue. Feel free to load your E-4 with pure Minengeschoss, don't bother to climb and come staright over Hawkinge picking easy targets, hitting WEP if they come too close That's fair enough, but don't expect any respect from me

59 / 95 in a Emil while vulching around Hawkinge is not very good stat imho. I fly Hurricane almost exclusively (becuse there is more blue most of the time, fair enough, I don't mind any side) and my stats are 90 percent human oponents. I never vulch because I don't need to. I actually know that quite a few of my victims was you and I remember you didn't do much (no offence) My survival rate is very good, don't you worry. I flew E-3 many times and never felt the urge doing what certain pilots do, but everybody is different. For me, vulcher in a E-4 is lousy pilot getting easy kills, good 109 jocks on ATAG don't have to do that for a reason.

Peace dude

The other day me and my wingman Steiner shot down 2 Spitfires and 2 Hurricanes under a minute on ATAG whilst escorting Italian bombers to hit enemy targets over England. Quite exciting as we swept down on them coming from the sun, they never knew what hit them. Learned my wingman one or 2 things about gunnery and cloak mode

And both returned to base alive, that's what really counts.
