fx1 what squad are you in?

If you play this game long enough the HO should not be that big of a problem for you.

If you answer yes  - --------->   TA

If you answer no     ----------->  MA CT



to easy Redd!

they will click no then as soon as they up in the MA or CT they will rvert to the HO,  lol have HT write some COAD and if the FE reads that you are lined up directly with an opponent ( give or take a degree or 2)and fire at them nose to nose, you get dumped.........hehe that would be cool  :D

May have been, but a good 38 Pilot or F6F pilot would own a spit any day of the week in AW.

I, for one, would be very much in favor of this.

As frustrating as it is, I'm not thinking this is a code fix either. [insert standard 'AW smaller community chivalry warm, fuzzy, meandering retrospection]. It is entirely up to the players, and the newer crowd cares very little about community or the fun of a good fight. They want to find a team, and start killing. They probably don't have any idea of the twisted little subculture that is AH- nothing about squads, ettiquette, ACM, or flight in general. They wish merely to get to the front line with a weapon as soon as possible. The question I see on text more than anything else is "What's the fastest plane?". Of course, the answer given to all newbs is.... La-7. I'm guessing that probably 75% of the newbs grab and La and go out a-huntin'. Race off to a fight, point the nose directly and the nearest con, and start firing.

While I hate getting picked off mid turn by some tool in an La 7 coming right at my nose, I'm not really convinced they're trying to HO above all else. I'm guessing they've not given a single thought to where I'm going, how fast I am, how much energy I might have, or what guns I've got pointing at them. They are trying to get that kill as soon as humanly possible, at all costs.

Anyhow, fat chance that most these guys will stick around for very long, but the ones who do will ideally at some point try to learn some basic ACMs and put up good fights without all the nose-nose blasting away. I doubt it, but that's my little pipe dream.

Cheers,
hub

WING of Terror look us up. The degree idea would be great say 5 or 2 from your nose out to 1000k. Call this the fear of death factor our whatever.

I dont care if its a mood point I would just like say a word about it. And i think its not a bad idea if you had alittle avd at merge you would make the ho but if its nose to nose let the fight end the way it should. If i were to make a person stall i would need to worry about 1 ping engine hit froma guy that shooting 1000 out then stalls and i blast him. BTW ropes are no as common in AH as in AW because you will be ho'ed. I personally dont call what i do is a rope it more like let the other guy go after something else then i might rope him.


Frodo if you think i can fly because i complain about ho's let DA and you can ho all you wish. I will be on at 6:00 central and if you think WOT can counter a HO then i am shure you can try it out with them.

HTC i am shure some people would like to test this out and see if it does help out the game. In DA do you HO and some of the best fight come from the DA. Think about it

against the bombers, it was.  :)

HT,
setting the argument of "avoiding the HO" aside, deduct perks for every dead-straight HO shot.  this oughta reduce the # of occurences to only those rare "life & death" situations, yea?

shouldn't even need a poll for this one.  it's a dead lock in the "yes" column...

i propose that all La-7's should be forced to tow this banner:

You made a comment in your first post that its a flight sim, and to get rid of the gv's,  Its just not a flight sim its a combat sim, and includes all types of combat vehicles, and as far as porking bases well bombers can do it just as well as gv's but most of the porking of troops and ordance I see done is by people in 109's, 190's, p38'sand p51's.

Maybe I am Wrong but I was under the assumption that the object of the game was to take bases from the other countries, and to stop them from advancing and to do that you need to kill the supply lines and drop their ordance.

Hum, instead of outright disallowing the HO, or perking the LA-7, why not have NEGATIVE perks dinged on your account for an HO shot for all planes.  Do an HO, and system immediately advises you (whether you get the kill or not) the negative perks will be assigned for a bad judgement call.

If you feel that your only options in the hanger are the fast planes that can't turn without using too much skill..... planes with a lot of cannon power, then you will feel that you are limited to the HO and the sneak so far as acm goes.
