Vulching "code" rule minimums.

5 ft AGL
Above 150 mph air speed.
must have a 1 min "in flight" flight time.

If a player has been flying for more than 1 min the first two rules are null.

These rules "combined" would eliminate vulching kills from the kill count.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Why do vulching kills need to be removed from the kill count?   A kill is a kill and don't use 'it's not sporting' because any game where the goal is to shoot the other guy in the back isn't sporting.  Air combat by its nature isn't sporting, nor was it in real life either.

To hazard a guess, I'd say it has to have something to do with the original request in this thread.


Air combat by its nature isn't sporting, nor was it in real life either.

This is a game and like every other game, it is engineered to be sporting.

how would you define a vulch?  wheels up? taxiing?  dis-proportionate energy states?

Everyone is so down on the vulcher,  he didn't ask for the suicidal maniac to repeatedly press the spawn button at a capped field and attempt to kill the goon everyone worked so very hard to get that town dead.

Vulching is when you shoot a plane down within 120 sec. after spawn in.    Anything after in my books is considered ack hugging.


Just a personal opinion on the matter. After 120 seconds you should be able to start defending yourself

120 seconds is 2 mins. A 109K/Spit14/Spit16 is at 10k after the said time gap. An La-7/190D/C205 is at 8k. Ergo shooting down a climbing out K4 at 7k is vulching. Blatant nonsense.

There should be an achievement for getting 5 vulch kills in a row on the same sortie.

Vulching is lame if you say you are a "fighter" and are here for "Combat" ...Aces High is about Combat but there are other factors at hand....

1...the game is not JUST about air combat....
2...the MA is a giant sandbox with no rules....dont want to be vulched...up at another field...
3....during the base take a vulch is a perfectly good "tactic" and the one time I don't disagree with it...(although I never take bases so I dont vulch...as I am here Yes to Kill MFers but easy kills are not my style)


a vulch is when the plane is rolling or just lifted....if they have some ALT below them it is no longer a vulch..it becomes a "bounce" unless of course the con getting "bounced" is actually engaged with a friendly..then it becomes a "pick"

You have a problem with that TED?  I find it funny that you make slide remarks but yet lack the balls to have a 1v1 with me.  How many excuses did you make the other night after I made you whine like a little squealing piglet in the MA?
