We need a change
« Reply #105 on: February 24, 2005, 12:07:18 PM »
So exactly what are you trying to do here?
You`ve allready read what HT said.
Trying to get HT to coad out the HO? Not gonna happen.
Trying to get people to quit HOing? Not gonna happen.
Trying to keep me ...errr folks from whining when they get HOed? Not gonna happen.
Trying to get your post count up? OK, I`ll give ya that one. The rest of it you`re just peein in the breeze. :D

I only ever go for the HO/front quarter shot if the other guy can't get his guns on me. This includes if he is trying to avoid it. It sounds harsh, but if a guy is going to give me an easy shot with no risk to myself i'll take it. If it looks like he's gonna attempt to HO me i'll dodge it.

Well said Knite and with that in mind - Its never going to change. If some of you are looking for some code of honor or chivalry in the Main Arena of an online game, you are looking in the wrong place. Once in awhile it shows itself but it is a rarity and should not be expected. You can try to avoid the HO as much as possible but there are instances when you cannot. Personally I don’t see a problem with it. If I have to HO to save a countrymen or a squad mate so be it. Lately I try to avoid it if the situation allows in order to test my skills but my overall goal is to kill the enemy as quick and efficiently as I can, not relish on how I did it.

Side Note - Jackal1 - also well said - Pure Truth!

ok - hehe - "THAT"

Coincidently two planes (A & B) merge. A goes for the HO and B manuevers to avoid the HO. A is still able to achive a guns solution and kills B. One plus One still equals TWO. Although it is impossible according to AH virtual laws of physics but I'm sure there are a few here who if they could, would HO themselves. All it takes is "One with Intent to HO" not two.

It’s a good topic! Make's people think, I know HT isn’t going to do anything about it. Can’t we voice our opinion?


If you didn’t play AW you have no idea what a world would be like without the HO. Talk and talk about the ho but if have never played in a game that it doesn’t happen. That was my first gripe and is to this day after making the transition from AW to AH. I have been on both sides and just dislike Allot of the Ho shots in this game. Also I am one not to call out you HO'ed me on 200 I just think it takes away from the game play. I also think that the codec for AW front shots was way too large. What I do like is AH defection shots when you do have a little window our advantage that aw didn’t have.


BTW shawk is going to teach this old dog some new tricks about the ho..

It take two to HO ... there ... :p

If there was just one ... then who in the hell are ya gonna HO ?

An HO is an HO only when BOTH aircraft have a guns solution on each other.

If the other guy can shoot you ... and you can't shoot him and he shoots ya ... you HAVE NOT been HOed.

"If you didn’t play AW you have no idea what a world would be like without the HO. "

 And if you played AW then you know how absolutely ridiculous and arcade-like a world without consequence from frontal shots and complete lack of collisions is.

Pah_toooey.

Does anyone remember the thing, about the HO posts being funny cause no matter how many times you explain you are not talking about HOs at the merge, people will continue to explain to you how to avoid a HO at themerge?   :rofl :rofl :rofl

What you want to do is dumb down the game due to your lack of  either skill, which I doubt, or more likely, discipline. This thread doesn't make people think I'm quite sure, IMO it's just another thread about HO's, one of hundreds if not even more. This horse has been dead for years but people just keep beting the poor little thing up. Doesn't matter how many threads you or anyone else create about this topic, people who want to HO, will still HO. Avoid them, it's not that difficult you know.

Not quite sure how long you have been in AH, juding from your posts (bad source of course) it's not all that long. But please, take a minute and think about this... instead of whining (yes this was another HO whine) take a day or two to think about how to avoid the HO, ask any good pilot in AH what they do in the case of a HO, specially the merge HO's, how they avoid, what moves they make etc, try it yourself.

HTC thankfully won't do anything about HO's, if they did, it would probarly drive more people away from the game (pretty much everyone who has been here a couple of years or more) than they would get in to the game.

Tabasco sauce is to be used as an additive or to complement ... you are not supposed to drink it straight out of the bottle ... it causes drain bamage.
