Bodhi
« on: March 12, 2008, 09:03:40 PM »
Not quite.

Exact moment I started firing. Note you are NOT in my gunsight, as I had to pull DEFLECTION to hit you.


Around the time that the rounds that hit your F4U would have been fired.


Again, my gunsight.


First hits, leveling out to go vert (which I didnt once I saw the hit sprites)



This is what I'd call a high deflection shot.

The only pic that gives us any evidence is the one where we can see Bodhi's plane.

Nice ho.

Na tech hes right... A ho is a direct head on shot, meaning you are level and are heading in the exact same direction opposite to the other guy

--> ------ <----

thats a ho


What he did was a high deflection shot, so hes correct because he had to pull his nose up or down to fire. He wasnt at the same angle or alt so its not a ho...by book standards....

infact a HO is anytime where both aircraft have a gun solution. flight paths and angles can be different especially when you consider that the angle of the gunsite is often elevated above the aircraft's angle of attack during most situations. also considering net lag and differing front end displays you are unable to say high deflection and be sure that is what the other player saw.

HO, high deflection shot....both lead to the same thing....jousting and collisions.

Whatever happend to dogfighting?  The part where you earn your opponent's six?

Shotem up!  No dogfighting needed with people gunning the way this guy is.

I say it's a HO.  Bodhi didn't want to play the jousting game, so he could have been trying to avoid a collision from the get go.
1 man's ho/collision avoidance is another man's "high deflection" shot. 

Earn your opponents six before thinking about shooting him.

Earn your kill.

See 4th link in my signature for a better explanation.

Ok ... post the friggin' film where you have that "skillful dogfight" involving nothing but side-slips, throttle-cuts and flap-drops to try to maintain that one and only acceptable six o'clock shot while both of you constantly face the same direction to avoid one or the other whining "Nice HO!" :D

was it a 2v1? Looks like a burst of tracers from someone with obvious bad aim trying to cherry pick Arlo.

I don't see a deflection in those pics, so IMO its a HO -but I don't care!

Good shot Motherland!  :aok
