As I really suck at dueling, I had thought of (but not done) this very thing in the DA. Guess I'll just forget it.

Yes same guy, will fill you in later. And I was there when lute was so he knows my opinion on the matter. I agree with Akak, it's a chickenchit thing to do.

That person that climbs to 6k doesnt have much DA time.

3k is 3k not 6k to 3k

Also i think a HO is a HO and people that say no ho's on first merge make me think they are going to ho on the second merge. If you dont understand what a ho is, and cant recognize that you don't have the advantage its just as bad as climbing to 6k and coming down to 3k.

A face full of lead when you both can kill each other proves nothing. One must gain the advantage and win.

what about a front quarter shot where the other guy cannot shoot back? is that poor form also?

Got to disagree with this one....

If i'm dueling Bat or creton or anyone for "fun" yes. But would you pass that shot is something like KOTH? It's like two gun fighters who both clear leather...but one gets around quicker. To me this is actually part of ACM...its a judgment call on whether you will or will not get your nose around 1st...if not you need to be out of plane. Basically what your saying is my ACM and judgment isn't really quite good enough so I need a rule to protect me.

There is no "HO" after a 1st merge in a duel...hasn't been one since 92 when I started. That doesn't mean I disagree with you in the sense that I never take a "tie"...but that doesn't mean doing so is bad form (unless so agreed prior)....

A guns cold first merge has always been pretty standard stipulation.

I agree with Ack Ack & Murdr, but this is nothing new.........back during Sour's AH1 Ladder alot of the top 25 tier pilots was doing the same thing..........and they still would lose, rofl.........

the guy who did it obviously is the guy in the MA who climbs to 30 k and doesn't know how to do anything but cherry pick. thats why u probably beat him anyways lute. am i right?

No!

You have the advantage and he cant hit you then its a clean shot. That's were experience and knowledge come into play.

Ok storch here is your HO shot you took out my engine with from the second my engine got hit. There is a Inside screenie from my view, one from your view and a exterior shot. If you want I will send you a film to prove no screenies where photo shopped. Notice we both had guns on each other.

In my cockpit the second my oil was hit.

From your cockpit.

External Shot.

Would you like me to post the film as well?

So you still think it wasnt a HO shot storch?

storch · « **Reply #27 on:** July 21, 2007, 08:33:45 PM »

yes I think it wasn't a HO shot I hit your cockpit and there was no way you could have hit me.
