It was High deflection shot to the front left quarter,most people complain that these type shots are ho's but there not.As you were on the descending plane he had approximately 74mph of forwrd air speed,which is not enought to lift the nose to get a firing solution.As to FX1's coment that had you missed the shot you were dead,that isnt the case at all.You would have had more E ,if only enough to allow vertical escape because his nose and left wing were stalling just as you fired. ELEVENK is a fair hand in the 109's but he got beat by a fair kill.
On a different note ,I always thought that it's a HO only if both planes have a firing solution,or prop to prop so to speak.While both planes can fire at each other, if one plane is off angle just enough to escape the being hit while at the same time hitting the opposing a/c,this doesnt mean it was a ho.IMHO 109/yaks/la7/la5 are some of the best off angle snapshot planes in the game.
I primarily fly the 109g2 as my main ride and find that most shots are snapshots.
Some people complain of the ho while most just reup to come back and kill me.
I have noticed that as people get better in the game they tend to comlpain more of ho's and rams and so on,those who are very accomplished seem just to whimper alittle then go on,if they say anything at all.
