SA2, I can't help it that I keep you and Jamusta from landing very many kills, both of you have have the unfortunate knack of flying right in front of my gun sights.
I do my part to bravely protect my fellow countrymen by making you use as much of your ammo as possible!

Perfectly legitimate tactics for the LW, and historically accurate. Furthermore , they are flying undermodelled planes and therefore should not be expected to seek a gun solution anywhere approximating the rear of the opponents plane.
Please do not refer to them as rams and HO's - they are front quarter deflection shots. (it's just might seem that you are dodging HO's while they are doing their deflecting)
Ermmm, who mentioned HO's? But since you are here ::pulls out a dollar::
And if you want to get technical about using HO as a tactic, it was used by the Brits during the BoB first. The LW "acquired" the tactic from them. Much like they did France. Matter of fact, there was a quote from a famous LW pilot, spoken as he dove head on into an oncoming B-17, triggers held down and throttle firewalled................
Went something like "YOU WANNA SEE AN HO?? I'LL SHOW YA A HO YOU M***********R".
Or maybe I just heard it in the MA, cant remember.
