Ho
« on: August 29, 2008, 12:30:32 PM »
Wow what is this game coming to, I got bashed this morning on 200 when I said ho is for people who cant use acm. Anyone can turn nose to nose to a target, what really takes skill is getting on someones 6 and shooting them down. Im not saying Im good because Im really not but atleast I fight and I know it willmake me better in the long run.

what were you thinking junky?

The HO was a valid tactic in WW2 and should be used in AH aswell.  :aok

Anyone got a good site I can load a video up on and I'll show you the best HO in the history of AHII
seeds have been laid...but they arent trees we're growing. we're growing organic grenades!- 321BAR
I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

Bruv was being sarcastic ... don't buy into the "valid tactic" BS that some ignorant clowns will try to foist upon you. A "valid" tactic is one that gives you a reasonable chance at getting a shot on your opponent, without exposing yourself to a gun solution. For the most part, there's nothing "valid" or "tactical"  about a HO. I can teach my 2 year olds to HO.

Also, ignore the fools that tell you  "It takes two to HO".  They're fools.   It takes two to merge, only one to make it a HO.

My .02 on this... if you're gonna HO, use a plane that the HO was actually part of the ACM for, p40B/E, a6m, and KI's  :aok
Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

I suggest that HTC put up a filter and ban the nauseating amount of HO complaints.  I would ban it from the boards and from the text chat within the game.

It's always the same people in the same aircraft that HO and then complain about the results.  <yawn>  I saw one of your squaddies ho'ing everything in sight.   Doesn't bother me since he doesn't whine about it.

I don't like the HO as I am not very good at it...but the HO is a subconscious act.  It's much akin to target fixation....You get drawn into until your experience(time) overcomes the natural urge to get sucked into it.  If a person would just listen, HO comes up every 30 seconds.  I don't disagree with you one bit.

I guess the act of fixating on an approaching plane is just as natural as it is to complain about. If I am not thinking I get pulled into the HO.  And occasionally I can't avoid it as a my usual response is to try a negative G and then I am pilot wounded or lost my rudder from a collision.  Hopefully people will grow out of it.

I complained about getting bashed on 200 about it fyi Gav. I am in no way speaking for my sqauddies at all they pay their 15 dollars just like everyone else. But if we "campaign" for not hoing with these posts, maybe we will finally get people turning to our side instead of having a majority of people hoing :aok
