So vluching is combat then?

Instead I thought of dividing each catagory by some "Gold standard", add the numbers together and the one with the lowest total is ranked best.


Except that the gold standard would be something that would have to vary every single tour based on the standard deviations of the population's average stats.  I think you'd find that the current method would tabulate almost the same ranks.

regardless of what your opinion is on vulching, it is combat whether you like it or not.  while it might not be a 'fight', it certainly is combat.

Well then, I guess someone should have told the pilots in WWII that vulching planes on an airfield wasn't combat...maybe it was a war crime...  :noid

Oh here we go...if it's nothing more than a cartoon game then there shouldn't be any talk of ACM, SA, or anything else to do with even a concept of reality, may as well be Mario World.

It's a game that simulates arial combat. Since it is a game then those things that detract from game play are frowned upon.

In true life and death situations there are many things that may happen that does not lend itself well to a game.

Well, then you could also apply that to dogfighting or anything else related to it like ACM and the like.

How does vulching detract from game play?  

Man, soon people are going to whine this game out of existence.

But vulching is fun...nothing pisses off the other guy as quickly as vulching him, well, maybe shooting his chute.  Frankly, vulching is also one of the most easiest things to prevent, just don't up from a base that is being actively vulched.  It is really that simple but of course, people will find whining about it to be far more easier.

It was not combat.  It was killing the enemy and destroying their equipment but it was not combat.  Unless, ground forces were firing at them.  Then it would be combat.  But then, that would apply to attacking buildings noe too, no? 

Think about hunting.  Are you killing a deer?  yes.  Are you in combat with it?  no.
