And no. It was encouraged as a last result effort of the Russians (called Taran). The I16 had a strengthened wing structure specifically for this purpose.

Years and years of this and you people still dont get it.  When you are engaged in a 3 vs 1 and the 4th guy comes in HO, there is nothing you can do to avoid it.  Thinking that a HO is two planes lining up 1K from each other and shooting does not display any skill either

Absolutely correct.  In a one on many engagement it's often impossible to avoid a HO.  In that case I'll always call out the HOer on 200.  You'de think that with even marginal skill you could avoid HOing if odds are in your favor.

I don't advocate HO's in a 1 vs. 1, but there are times nonetheless.

If I see a shot, more than likely I'm gonna take the shot.  Strangely enough
I could care less what my target feels about that.

I usually try to avoid the Ho, but every once once in awhile when I'm outnumbered on D. I'll grit my teeth and charge headlong into the fray with the sole intent of taking as many of them with me before I go, in the most destructive way possible.  I thoroughly enjoy taking off against overwhelming odds. Gets the blood flowing.

  On a side note,  AH2 may be the only game I've played with a legitimate forum post tittled " hoen is ok"  seems like we should be playing Pimps online.

I say if you want to HO, then by all means HO. If you don't want to then don't. Easy as that.

It is perceptions like this that incline me to HO.  Ask Jaxxo!

I find its usually the cannon armed planes that start out coming right at you. If I break, they dont break in a way to set up a move to counter my turn, they just keep trying for the HO. After a fight has started, many times the two planes end up nose on, and thats fine. Its the guys toolin around in LAs and such that have no other plans for the fight except the initial HO.

   Thats lousy.

If he tries to turn after the attempt you are 100% correct.


I would agree, if in a faster plane, coming in with E, they can HO n go.  but, if they turn decide to turn, its not gonna be good for them.  

After a HO pass, and they keep going, I guess they are now flying smart and in a realistic way, just like in ww2......ya.  (not part of quote)

I don't get mad when I'm HO'd, and in certain situations, I know why I did.  I just don't get how it is fun to dive in, line up nose to nose (well I guess that might be fun) shoot like crazy hoping the other guy is a worse shot, and then just run away...rinse repeat.  I'd much rather have a fight against someone, win or lose doesn't matter, but you gotta respect someone for mixing it up with you.  Seems like now, no one cares in the way they get a kill.  A kill is a kill, if it's red it's dead.  I don't agree with this philosophy as I think it leads to and supports lame gameplay. Others do, and thats fine, it's their $15, and this is a cartoon airplane game, so it doesn't matter anyway.

1) If it's red, it's dead.
2) If it's in my gunsights, I am pulling the trigger.

Now, to clarify.  I will take the Ho shot if you are in my gunsights.  Will I attempt to Ho by lining you up from 4k out and flying straight at you... No.  But, if someway shape or form you end up flying right at me, chances are I will pull the trigger
