Author Topic: Anyone complaining about HOs....... (Read 1277 times)

You're stupid.

yes I know, opening with a flame is not a good idea but hear me out.

I don't get head on'd.

Wanna know why?

Cos I avoid them. If I see a plane turning for a head on I'll do a minor barrel roll and avoid it.....and then turn around and attempt to kill the unimaginative git who tried to HO me. The only time I ever ever get caught in a HO is when it's vertical and I've under-estimated the E level of my opponant (ie, it was a rope attempt that didnt work). But I view that as my own mistake.

If you're getting HO'd all the time then try avoiding the attempt instead of taking it.

Really. Try it, it's not hard since no sod who plays this game seems to be able to hit a moving target anyway.

.....'cept me and a few others that is. If ya see someone trying to avoid the HO aim straight for him and take a shot as he goes past....I do that when it's the other bugger trying to avoid me in the HO. Works every time in fact.....but no-one seems to be able to hit me when I try to avoid. Go figure.

Only time it bothers me when you are vastly outnumbered on deck, and one ho's you. seems pointless.

not you would have experience that mr.swoop, you cherrypicking altmonkey...

If you find yourself in a position where you do not have an overwelming advantage then you didn't plan it right.

I have always wondered... who is the HO'er of the two who meet in a HO?

-The one who points his nose at the enemy first or the other one?

-Or is it just anyone who sees that the situation may lead into a HO pass and still continues towards the enemy?

-Or is it always the one in a more agile plane?

... or is it the guy who whines about others HO'ing him?

... just wondering

I think he mispelled plane, but then again, it could be the British spelling for it. No,..that ain't it. No 'u'.

Yep, especially when 3 or 4 or more guys have been working you and some gutless weenie that has to have a kill no matter what nails you in a HO. Shows complete disrespect for the guys you are flying with and shows you are only out for yourself.

When I see friendlies do that, I don't six call them or shoot guys off their sixes. They are on their own. I just sit and watch them die and laugh.

Yep those are the ones. You are low and slow turning with a bunch and some guy in an LA7 roars through and shoots you in the face.

I'd think the guys doing all the work would be more frustrated with it then me, thier intended target.

Always expect the HO and feel good that you're already one move ahead of your would-be opponent in the mind game that is dogfighting.

Hey, its working. We are not talking about HOs at the merge anymore. Now lets work on not saying LA7 in every example of bad behavior and include 190s, 110s, Mossies, NIKs, Spits, Tyffies, etc

Zaphod · « **Reply #12 on:** February 24, 2005, 04:22:33 PM »

This is a little off topic but.....don't ya just love it when some guy rolls in for the HO on ya when you already have several on you.....and killshoots himself on the guy behind ya?

I've only had it happen a couple times but it was quite funny when it did. I can imagine the chatter on their country channel following that one lol.

< Thanks for the killshooter ya big weenie!

< Oh ya...well you were trying to steal anyway

blah blah blah

Anyone stupid enought to put his plane in front of either 4 hispano or 2*mg 131/13 + 4 mg 151/20 deserve to be pulverized.

And if he whine it's just a cherry on the cake
