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.
This is team game and if taking out enemy planes quickly helps my team, it gets done when I get the shot... Be it HO, LO, JO, or YO momma. Yes, I will cap rounds at your mom if it benefits my team. You can fly around all day extending the courtesy of avoiding head ons all day, only to have those you extend to blow your cockpit to pieces from 12’oclock.
The Head On issue is more of trying to establish community etiquette, or an un written “rule”.. everyone who has played any on-line game knows it’s easier to urinate in the wind than get people to abide by etiquette in a kill or be killed game. Plus it sounds silly, ‘rules’ in a war game? Isn’t one objective here to destroy a town full of people, including their place of worship?
I would suggest a HO stat to highlight the worst offenders, but we all know if you assign a stat to it, even if it’s not a community accepted ‘good’ thing, some will celebrate it and even take measures to celebrate being an effective irritant. I can see “HO” squads and people boasting about being the top HO of the month, “Look at me, I’m most annoying and there’s nothing you can do about it hahaha”
When sniper rifles were brand new in Americas Army, guys would kill you and take it. This led to other guys killing the 1st team killer, in turn #2 TK’er would get TK’d and the end result was a squad of 10 reduced to 3 or 4. The devs established ROE points, hurt/kill team-mates and enough ROE points got you booted from the map and re-spawned in a jail cell.
But that’s a totally free game, free to download, free to play.. they have an obscene number of players so if you didn’t like it, go away. HTC has paying customers to be concerned about and needs to tread lightly in ‘punishing’ unpopular people who pay what is a lot of money… and this is relatively speaking a lot of money. Most games have an initial cost, from there on-line play is free.
