the main reason of a air force isn't to fight other planes in the air but destroy the enemy on ground befor he gets up.

if your prefered base is under fire then choose a different one. that simple.

i'm glad that those vulch whiners from FB/PF/46 times get less nowadays in CloD.

meh. I NEVER get attacked on take-off.
I don't operate from Hawkinge.
There is ALWAYS a fight over Hawkinge.

It's probably the easiest problem to avoid.

Do not climb in such case, get as much speed as possible, and survey the guys diving. If one closes from you start a smooth turn and slowly pull to break (hard turn).

If he tries to follow, this simple maneuver will make him loose energy quickly and make him more vulnerable, other aircrafts can them come and help.

If he quits, try to slowly climb while gaining distance from the field.

That's how I usually try to deal with.

You don't need to convince me about coop. I coop eveytime I play.

It is a free market economy....ATAG is the most populated server whenever I fly...their PayPal donations exceed their monthly need each month that I have ever looked at it on their website....thus I don't think Vulching is a very big issue for most pilots.

I have never been vulched at a Blue base. I only bomb the Red airbases with JU-88, I can't even strafe, since they have no guns.

Just to be clear, any surplus is carried in full to the next month and the person who rents the server is out of pocket a significant amount each month, which he does by choice, at the moment.

When vulching happens, the Blue's are hanging around Hawkinge looking for easy kills, the Red's know this and either attempt a take-off from Hawkinge to get into a quick fight, or get a tad bit smarter and spawn at a further airbase only to head to Hawkinge because they know that's where the Blue's are. This further exacerbates the problem. This giant wonderfully complex and detailed mission on this GIANT wonderfully complex map suddenly gets pigeonholed into a square mile of frustration.

Yes it's a stupid result of people being stupid OR making bad choices, but it's what is going to happen over and over...because people are stupid and/OR make bad choices. It's not that I'm trying to criticize or degrade "people" but I simply cannot use any other word to describe them.

The "airquake condition" can be dealt with and fixed, or it can be ignored advertised as a beneficial part of a server's assets.

ATAG's choice. I think they're shooting themselves in the foot, IMO. They hold the balance of this game's online community in their hands, and I feel the stage they're setting for themselves is getting volatile very quickly.
Youre in love with yourself.

lol. of course only the blue ones do vulching.

Yeah. And?

I find it offensive that you pigeonhole all blue players with this label.

I think this thread needs more moderation to curtail all the slanderous insults and abuse we blue guys have to endure in these forums.
