I love ho'rs.
Out of the thousands upon thousands of ho attempts made at me per tour, typically I get hit only a handfull of times.
Pilots that only Head On are super easy kills and I thank them for not taking the time or effort to learn how to fly.
I would rather a hard fought 1 on 1, but blasting lemmings out of the skies in droves is still fairly amusing.
As far as Cmustard...
In world war 2 pilots hoed,everybody hoed !
Kills per Death + 1 0.98
Kills per Sortie 0.72
So if this was WW2, you would have ALMOST shot down an nme, and died. Game over. You are Dead.
So if you want to "pretend" this is WW2, I would ask...
Was it worth it? Was your being Dead worth almost shooting down one plane? If you were a WW2 pilot, would you consider your dying to almost kill someone a "good" or "smart" tactic?
Would you maybe wish, right before you died shooting that nme in a Head On, that your instructors had taught you how to maneuver your plane so you could kill at least
one enemy before dying?
Or perhaps, in that instant before death, would you wish you had learned some basic Flight Maneuvers so that you would know how to fight, be able to kill bad guys, and possible make it home alive?
Yes pilots did Head On attacks in WW2. (mosty when they held all the cards, and the risk of them dying was low). No, putting yourself infront of the bad guys guns is not a good thing, and in general was avoided at all costs.
