vulch achievement bug
« on: May 25, 2015, 10:11:52 AM »
I unwillingly received the "vultures got to eat too" achievement without making any attempt at vulching.  Our side captured a base as I was dropping bombs on the VH.  Some guy was killed by the auto-ack when the base changed hands (which is dumb, btw) and I got a proxy vulch.

I hereby demand a retraction of this "achievement".  Don't let this ruin my perfect, vulch-free record.  It's my birthday today for goodness sake.  :old:

Have never been close to getting it either.  And now this happened.  <stamping feet like Herman Munster> "I DON'T WANT IT!!!"

Yep.  What happened was as I was dive bombing the enemy VH, the base was taken and the auto-ack destroyed a plane that just spawned in.  My "vulch" was a proxy from the base changing hands.  About the lamest possible way to ruin my vulch-free streak.   :bhead

it only takes one. really all you have to do is kill a plane within 30 seconds of it spawning.  doesn't matter if you were fighting it on the deck Co E or not which is clearly not a vulch.


actually i got mine when i was deacking a field with rockets the guy just happened to take off and fly near the gun i was rocketing down took out the gun and the guy and got 2 achievements. rocket man for hitting plane with rocket and vultures got eat for the vulch.

It clearly wasn't a vulch because I neither fired a bullet, nor caused a maneuvering kill.  The stupid auto-ack (which was friendly when he hit the runway) blew him to bits, 5 seconds after he spawned in.  That is the single most ridiculous thing to ever be called a vulch.
