I'm the latter.

Either way its not ATAG or any other server operators fault if people wont play the objectives...

People don't play the objectives because a lot are pre-occupied with base defending/attacking. This makes the objectives just like attacking AI in an SP quick mission when there's a very low chance of encountering another player, it gets boring and a lot don't want to do that when playing online.

I guess my issue with that statement is any experience I have had with ATAG, Blue is hard after the objectives, and generally I can find enemies to fight around those targets...

Which is no doubt attributed to the fact that blues have a wide range of bombers to choose from, reds only have the blenheim at their disposal.

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...

Is it safe to assume *most* (not all, don't wanna go generalizing anything because people start crying) whiners who insist that everyone only plays the way that the whiners want are primarily red pilots?

I'm noticing that trend.

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!

What gets me about this whole "Vulching ruins the game" brou-ha is this.....

I am not immune to the odd session of Battlefield. I know... that is a big thing to admit to on a Simulator forum but... hey... coming out takes guts! lol

There have been times, in the many iterations of that series, where I have spawned in only to see enemy copters over head, tanks firing left, right and center, soldiers running over the hills towards me.... bang... dead! I respawn.... bang... dead! I respawn again and manage to last 5 minutes...etc

I find that hilarious! I enjoy that 'Custer's last stand'/ Ragnarok feeling. Meanwhile the chat window is filled with endless moaning and crying......

Why can't people just chill out and enjoy this game? If it upsets you so much, switch to a different server... or a different airfield for that matter! Play again later, perhaps... it's not like ATAG, for example, is just a vulchfest 24/7, is it? Or... try taking off before the enemy and vulching them?
