MWA as bad as any other arena now:(

[CAP1]

know what's really sad? i rarely ever hit anything when i do try to return the ho.
hell, i chave trouble hittin a plane that's runnin away flyin straight. now, on the other hand, if he maneuvers, i got him....as long as he's in guns range anyway.

you miss because you are aiming directly at the oncomming plane. aim low and walk it up slightly and he will fly into it.

don't sweat it dude......we're not a bunch of hotards talkin bout this. just guys tired of gettin ho'd.......

Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because you are flying against some skill-less dweebs who only knows the HO doesn't mean that you have to stoop to their level. Try leading by example. If everyone gave up and said I'm just gonna HO there would be no more good fights just arenas full of HO tards that think they are teh L33t uber sticks.
 
Also nine times out of ten I can avoid the HO and I usually have a pretty good idea that the HO artist is an easy kill that has no other skills.

for awhile there, i was doin good avoiding them. right now, when someone tries, for the most part, i'm about 50-50. it doesn't help me that much yet, as i don't know how to avoid, AND put myself in a good position for a good kill.

 as for me ho'in back.....generally i don't. i think i mentioned earlier in this thread about the spit i ho'd lastg week. i was a bit tired, and him in a VERY maneuverable plane against a p38, he should've been EASILY able to maneuver for a kill against me. that's changing, as i'm getting better, but i still have trouble with those little wiggly planes.

 you can go into mw, and ask anyone in there, if i ho or not. you'll get your answer there.

So, if I pull the trigger at the merge I will automatically become an easy kill for you?    The HOer always has the advantage

the funny thing in MW is when the noobs try to ho a hurri in a zeke no thats funny and instant death and no CAPS not a ho'er but needs work on seeing 1 earlier

i'll figure it out sooner or later.

actually once you get the science of it down the zeek is one of the best HOers in the game.

it jinks better than any other ride allowing it to dodge better, its tight turns give it the ability to fake its opponent to its intentions until it is well within its killing range, and finally if it doesn't kill you on the initial HO pass he 180's and is on your 6 before you have the chance to react.

the cannons have lousy ballistics but that is easy to compensate for once you have learned how to aim them.

so don't underestimate the zeek in the HO. if he is practiced then he has all the initial advantages.

its funny i spent the night in late war tonight found a lot of good fights with very few ho's great time went into MW for about an hour very first sortie got ho'ed 4 times well failed ho's rammed about 6 to 3 odds that was fine and almost made it home the only plane lefted a mossie vulched me lmao all good

Very rare to fing a 1V1 in latewar. May start that way but never ends that way. Although Mid war has its moments its hands down one of the best places to fly.

that's why i fly there pretty much exclusivly. it doesn't mean i'm not as good as the lw guys(even though i'm not). it just means i prefer the "atmosphere" in there.


almost forgot. MW was fun tonight, 'cept for skalpo breaking my shiny new p38J. and i had the supercharged blender in it too.

[SlapShot]

Flying in the LW does not make one a "fighter jock" by default. In my experiences, LW pilots are no better than anyone in the MW ... they may have "more" experienced pilots in LW, but on the other hand, they also have more noobs too.

Since were talking about HO's, the other nite in the arena i was in a LaLa up against a spit. I lost e and was trying to get some distance when i looked in the back the spit was leaving also, so i went after him. He turned and came streaight on so i fired a burst and tried to sidestep, heard a bang and got the message so and so has collided with me. Shortly i had a kill message----- i checked, no damage to me, so is this a glitch or what?
