what I got from that is that when u merge, you are nose on ready to face shoot if they fire 1st.

"I only ho if they ho 1st" is just plain silly.  That's just another way of saying "merges confuse me"

you probably need to work on your merge.

during a merge, if your plane is in a position to face shoot someone, then you are screwing up.

I know if you merged with me and were roughly nose on to my plane at the merge, you'd be dead in 2 passes or less.  I'm almost done with my lead turn (and 1/2 way to being on your 6) and you are deciding which way to break.  You have two options then, keep on trucking, which is a ho joust and run merge (i.e. merges confuse me pilot), or maneuver, in which case I am already in position and almost saddled, and you are visiting the tower soon.

I love pilots that ho.

This Thread had to do with ack range if I recall......NOT A MORALITY TALE on face shooting or a place to impress us with with your armchair ACM skills.   REMEMBER.......YOU ARE "FLYING" A COMPUTER...................No body is impressed but your own EGO.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

 Maybe your squad doesn't HO but they seem to be the exception.

 After last night my HO switch is hard wired to on. It makes more sense to try and get the first lick in then to be a good sport. After all it is about combat, and combat is about killing. I'm glad I got HO'd all those times. It got me out of the HOing is wrong frame of mind. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!From now on if your in my gun sights I'm shooting. The direction your facing is your problem.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



There's a thought to ponder.

The funniest thing though Kuhn. The safest place in the arena is in my gunsights. Just ask Husk.:D

No kidding Shifty, I often wonder why the rounds dont seem to go where I tell them to go. And yeah, I have been in Husks sights too many times. Al ways ends up the same "Husk shot you down".

 I know I spent over 4 minutes at one point on Husks 6 last night at ranges between 600 and less than 200. He does not stir the stick ethier. He was just flying smooth evasives. I blew away every tree, and snowflake, near him during that time and put very few rounds in him. I flew away with empty guns, only to have another pony saddle up and kill him. I still think I can hear him laughing.:lol
