:rofl Don't you think there is a reason the merges are like that in the DA?  Its so no one has an unfair advantage over the other guy.  You turn too early, you die.  You turn too late, you die. It is that simple no matter the environment (unless you have the speed to rope the bad guy).  The guy coming in for the HO shot does have an advantage over you.  He may not know it or you may not know it but he does.  He is on offense you are on defense.  What happens after that depends on the planes, pilots, and estates.  There is no golden rule about a lead turn, a late lead turn (what ever that is) or the guy HOing is going to lose because of his evil ways.  He already caused you to go defensive.

One man's HO is another man's "High Deflection Snapshot".

Blah Blah Blah BLah BLAH, like shamroc said, one mans HO is another ones high deflection shot.

People... !!!

Those who fly turny planes (and took off with 25% fuel, and have their convergence set to 200) do not have the right to yell "Ho!" period.
Extreme example: A Zero can not yell "Ho" at a 262, not ever.

Ho'ing isn't the problem, the problem is the turny planes crying when the faster planes don't turn fight them.

HO PROOF SOLUTION
Keep your convergence set to 650 yards. Hence, when a 'ho-down' happens, all you have to do is FIRE EARLY and then after,  IMMEDIATELY 'BREAK'... put stick all the way to one of the corners (usually one of the 'back' corners) and the rudder in the same direction (left or right) as the stick...
If done correctly, you will see flashes on the enemy plane as his bullets are going by you.

I remember I was in D9 and got accused of 'ho'ing with a turny Spit that had to have taken off with only 25% fuel. He first knife-fight killed both my friends who were suckered into turn fighting it, and then was trying to get back to base since I would only horizontally boom and zoom him. I wouldn't turn fight him, nor would I allow it (the Spit) to go home, everytime he turned towards home, I turned towards his tail. At which time he would turn towards me, in hopes that I would turn fight. He was late on the 2nd time, supposively trying to avoid a 'ho,' he got 'deflection shot'ed and that was that. Then on 200 he yelled 'ho!'...
:furious
If your plane is set for extreme turning, and you yell 'Ho!' you are only lieing to yourself and acting stupid to your opponent.

Fefer to my original post if u bothered reading it??

If u flew at me strait on, then u should assume u might get shot at.

90% of the players dont hold their fire when they have a shooting solution no matter what angle there facing.

I guess u are under the impression everyone knows its u comming at them and that u wont fire. However on my end I dont know who is comming at me and if they are planning to fire on me or not.  U face your guns at me expect to get some lead on your face.

I guess u are confusing the MA with the DA again. Sorry but I dont intend to spend 10 minutes flying to a fight to end up assuming im going to get a fair 1 on 1 just to get killed in 3 seconds because i was the one who ASSUMED the enemy wont fire.

U know if u get HOED so much u might want to rethink YOUR tactics and not critisize me on mine? just some food for thought, how about I fly my plane and u fly yours. Everyone hates a backseat driver.
