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.
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.
