I was flying H2H today with soeone called "Beach11" he was the host and there were about 3 other planes in the room, it was FFA, I take off as soon as im off the runway in my 51 i set autoclimb and when im about 1000 off the ground he zooms in and blasts me, he said this isnt a vulch because my gear was up.....?????
then i took off again and as usual i set the auto climb to gain some alt, immediatly he gets on my six but this time he jsut sits there about 500 back and when at about 5000 i begin to turn and he hoses me again. I die again, then i reup and mange to haul bellybutton away and get up and get a few kills, after one kill im a little above the base and i look down and see beach taking off, so i just fly pasthim from his left wing to his right about 800 away, immediatly he whips up and snapshoots my left wing of and i die. I said "ya know i didnt fire on you cause you were taking off"
his reply, "not my problem"
so i think there needs to be better set of guidelines when it comes to FFA and vulching.
I dont know how good theses are but i think this is fair
1. First turn rule: once you take off you can climb as high as you want unless you make a turn (other than to avoid a mountin or something) or untill you reach 10000ft, if you make any turns before that you are in affect saying "im ready"
2. No follow ups: You do not follow on a plane's six that just took of waiting for him to initiate the first turn rule.
3. if a plane grants you fair takeoff by just flying past you when you are taking off you do not thank him by snapshooting him as he passes.
VEHICLES: never are vehicles on the same team to vulch or kill eachother unless otherwise specified, none of this get in a panzer and blast that m-16 that downed you crap. ground vehicle are targets for planes and ground vehicles should only shoot at planes, (unless other specifide by the host)
I wish i had a dime for every time i shot somebody down with the M-16 (i dont use osti) and have them pop up in the panzer and blast me, and then sit by the VH and shoot everyone who spawns at it.
I might have left something out or things need tweaks but it hink it would be some good guidelines to go by to keep everything as fair as possible.
