What is a Vulch

[wpeters]

If people are not happy with my definition, they can call it "strafing a 3 wheels GV", and stafing GVs is OK.

Great Defination

Shooting at a lifting or landing plane is a vulch... 

Now, if you lift from a capped base, you shouldn't complain about being vulched, if you do 

Landing, well, that's a different story.  I had a fight once where I chased a running 190 who would turn around when I turned around.  We did this for 30+ minutes.  Finally I ran low on fuel and he vulched me on landing.  I call that a tard move, I will let you be TheJudge.

 trying to differentiate between vulching, cherry picking and bouncing is like saying there's a difference between a ho and a front 1/4 shot.

there is a BIGARSE difference between a head on and a deflection shot. Sad if you dont know what is it all about.

yes you are correct, however level front 1/4 shots and ho's are not really different.

yup, i usually consider the level 1/4 quarter shots as a head on, as (usually) both of them had the opportunity to shoot each other in the same time, but one tryed to evade the unnecessery move, while the other is still trying to shoot his face. It isnt nice and the "more agressive one" is usually either dieing in 2 turns after the merge or running away.

Pfffft, it's called rocket target practice. Nothing like hittting a slightly moving object to brighten anyone's day 

ESPECIALLY if you happen to find sooner spamming bombers on the runway 

[MrGeezer]

No it doesn't.  It's a very specific term for a specific situation.  You can't vulch a plane that is flying around at 5,000ft or one flying around the deck at 50ft.  You can only vulch a plane that is either landing or taking off (or ditching). 

It's like the term 'cherry pick' (or 'pick') which has always meant shooting down a plane that is otherwise already engaged with another plane.  A lot incorrectly use this term to describe flying around while not in aerial combat and being ambushed by another single plane, when the correct term for this situation is "bounced".  For example, I ran into a P-51D the other night, flying along and totally oblivious I was there and I bounced him from out of the Sun.  The player immediately called me a "cherry picker", when the correct term should have been "bounced".

...you just made the list, buddy!

I can't believe how many here don't seem to know the definitions of game terminology.  Ack-Ack is 100% correct and it is what it is.

What I'd liken a lot of these responses to is going to the bathroom then blowing your nose instead of wiping your a**.  They both use tissue to remove something you don't want there right?  Must be the same thing.

somebody once said that vulches are like little presents that fall from the sky.

I resemble that remark...

I got vulched 5 times on the runway yesterday by htshot.  I dis-respected him by trying to get off the runway another 4 times after the first vulch.

He was in a 190D and he spared the lives of all of his countrymen, If I had got off that runway I would have slain the rest of them like chickens in a hen house.   He knew that and did what he had to do for his team to capture that field otherwise it wasn't going to happen as the previous 90 minutes of combat showed.   

It is how you deal with it and don't take things personally that make up a person of good character.

[Debrody]

Ahh so vulching builds a good character. Interesting.
